Monthon Surat

Monthon Surat (Thai: มณฑลสุราษฎร์, originally named Monthon Chumphon มณฑลชุมพร) was an administrative subdivision of Thailand in the early 20th century.

It covered the northeastern part of southern Thailand, including the present-day provinces of Surat Thani and Chumphon.

The monthon was established in 1896, with its administration located in Chumphon, containing the provinces Chumphon, Chaiya, Kanchanadit, and Lang Suan.

In 1905 the monthon court was moved to the town Bandon.
