From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bannang Sata (Thai: บันนังสตา) is a district (Amphoe) in the southern part of Yala Province, southern Thailand.
[edit] History
The name Bannang Sata is actually the Thai corruption of Benang Setar, its original Malay name. "Benang" means sewing thread, while "setar" is a tree with small and sour fruit (Bouea macrophylla).
In the past the district was named Ba Cho (บาเจาะ) controlled by Mueang Raman, created in 1907. The name Ba Cho is actually the Thai corruption of Bachok, its original Malay name. Later when the government reformed administration, the district office was moved to a new location and renamed to be Bannang Sata.
