The Bueng Rachanok Swamp is a popular tourist destination in the Wang Thong subdistrict. The Wang Thong River flows through Wang Thong. The subdistrict lies within the Nan Basin, which is part of the Chao Phraya Watershed.
Originally named Talat Chum, it was renamed to Wang Thong in 1939.[1]
The subdistrict is subdivided into 15 smaller divisions called (muban), which roughly correspond to the villages within Wang Thong. There are 15 villages, each of which occupies one muban.
