History of Dongli House

At first, people came to live in this land 25 thousand to 30 thousand years ago. The oldest kingdom in historical records is called the Kingdom of Ligor, which was founded in the nearby Bantai Samol around 1200.

Krabi belonged to Montong Nakong Temple at the beginning of Chakri Dynasty in Thailand in 1782. Later, in 1872, King Chulalongkorn of Thailand at the age of 19 promoted his position to a county government directly under the capital Bangkok.

The Kingdom of Thailand implemented a constitutional monarchy in 1932, and Dongli became the independent Thai county government at that time.

After Christmas in 2004, the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami occurred, and some outlying islands in Dongli County were affected but the losses were not great.
