Thothae (Template:Langx) is a sub-district in the Wat Bot District of Phitsanulok Province, Thailand.
Name origin
The word thothae means 'tired', "weary", 'downhearted', or 'dejected'. It is formed from the two elements, tho (Thai: ท้อ) meaning 'discourage', and thae (Thai: แท้) meaning 'real' or 'genuine'.
According to local legend, the village is far from other villages, and the distance can make travellers weary.[1][2] Despite the negative meaning, residents did not change the village name, only the Buddhist temple Wat Thothae (Thai: วัดท้อแท้) in Thothae was renamed Wat Thong Thae (Thai: วัดทองแท้; lit.: 'real golden temple').[2]
Geography
Thothae lies in the Nan Basin, which is part of the Chao Phraya Watershed.
Administration
The sub-district is divided into eight smaller divisions called (muban), which roughly correspond to villages. There are six villages, two of which occupy several mubans.[3] Thothae is administered by a tambon administrative organization (TAO). The mubans in Thotae are enumerated as follows: [4]
