Sam Roi Yot ((タイ語:สามร้อยยอด); lit. "three hundred spires") is a district (''amphoe'') in the northern part of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, central Thailand. The name "Sam Roi Yot" literally means "300 peaks". ==History== The minor district (''king amphoe'') Sam Roi Yot was created on 1 April 1995 by splitting the ''tambon'' Rai Kao, Sila Loi and Sam Roi Yot from Pran Buri District. On 7 September 1995 ''tambon'' Sala Lai was created by splitting off six ''muban'' from Rai Kao. On 1 January 1996 the ''tambon'' Rai Mai was reassigned from Kui Buri District to the minor district. On 15 May 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts. With publication in the ''Royal Gazette'' on 24 August, the upgrade became official. The British diplomat John Crawfurd visited the area in 1822 during the mission described in his book ''Journal of an Embassy from the Governor-General of India to the Courts of Siam and Cochin-China: Exhibiting a View of the Actual State of Those Kingdoms''. He reported that it was then already called Sam Roi Yot and described the view of the coast as "novel and imposing". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sam Roi Yot District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
