In the district area there is a pond, which in the past was visited by tigers from the mountains of neighboring Saraburi and Nakhon Nayok to drink water. So the people in the district named the pond Nong Suea.

gollark: I figure YouTube is bound to fail eventually since it's trying to handle too many conflicting demands from various sides and not handling any that well. But for now it sort of works.
