Toponymy[edit]
Its name "Thai Ban" literally translates to "the end of the muban (village)". Because during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), it was considered a very distant area from the downtown Samut Prakan, also colloquially known as Pak Nam. At that time it was called "Thai Ban Talat" (the end of the marketplace), later called "Thai Ban" for short.[2]
