Most common subdistrict names
While for the provinces and the districts the names are unique (except the 5 districts named Chaloem Phra Kiat), there are many subdistricts with the same name, sometimes even within one province there may be more than one subdistrict with the same name. Thus, out of the total of 7430 subdistricts (both tambon and khwaeng) 2398 have a non-unique name, 800 names are used more than once. The most common name is Nong Bua (หนองบัว), literally Lotus swamp, found 28 times. The second place goes to Nai Mueang (ในเมือง), meaning town center, found 22 times. Below is the list of all subdistricts found at least than 10 times.
