"Tambon" is usually translated as "township" or "subdistrict" in English — the latter is the recommended translation, though also often used for king amphoe, the designation for a subdistrict acting as a branch (Thai: "king") of the parent district.

Tambon within cities or towns are not subdivided into villages, but may have less formal communities called chumchon () that may be formed into community associations.
