History

The area was first settled in the late 1800s, with the first village, Bak Waeng (บักแหว่ง), governed by Mueang Det, the district capital. The settlement was eventually renamed "Tha Pho Si" in 1902, after the giant sandbox tree (; Pho Si) that was founded near the waterfront pavilion on the bank of the Lam Dom Yai River. The Tha Pho Si subdistrict was formed in 1976 by combining two areas splitting from Mueang Det and Klang, which consisted of five and one villages, respectively.


Geography

The tambon is located in the central region of the Det Udom district, on the low river plain of the Lam Dom Yai River.
