Ban Dongphayom (Thai: บ้านดงพยอม) is a village (muban) in the Nakhon Pa Mak sub-district of Bang Krathum District of Phitsanulok Province, Thailand.

[1] The third word phayom (Thai: พยอม) is a type of rainforest tree of the genus Shorea indigenous to Thailand.

There are few phayom trees left in Ban Dongphayom, as villagers have cleared the majority of the land for agriculture over the years.

[4] It is on land between the Wang Thong and the Wat Ta Yom Rivers, within the Nan Basin (part of the Chao Phraya Watershed).

However, most farms are diversified, growing sugar cane, bananas, mangos, papayas, chili peppers, coconuts, spices and herbs.

[citation needed] Farmers in Ban Dongphayom also typically raise livestock such as cattle, chicken and pigs.

Ban Dongphayom is a natural habitat to a wide variety of insects, reptiles, amphibians, fish and other wildlife.

[citation needed] Venomous snakes are a threat to the residents, and villagers take precautions in their daily activities to avoid being bitten.

Mosquitos are also a problem due to the amount of standing water in the nearby rice farms, although there are no recent cases of Malaria reported.

Large celebrations are commonplace in Ban Dongphayom, as local weddings and other events such as coming-of-age ceremonies and death anniversaries are well attended by the entire community.
