Dan Makham Tia (ด่านมะขามเตี้ย, pronounced [dàːn mā.kʰǎːm tîa]) is a district (amphoe) in the southern part of Kanchanaburi province, western Thailand.
History
The area of Dan Makham Tia was settled more than 200 years. It was a border village of Mueang Kanchanaburi adjacent to Burma.
The area had a short Makham tree (Tamarindus indica), so people called the village Ban Nong Makham Tia. Later was changed to be Dan Makham Tia.
The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 April 1990 by splitting off the three tambons Dan Makham Tia, Klondo, and Chorakhe Phueak from Mueang Kanchanaburi district.[3] It was upgraded to a full district on 8 September 1995.[4]
