Chong Mai Kaeo (ช่องไม้แก้ว) is a subdistrict of Thung Tako in Chumphon. Its official community profile describes western uplands sloping eastwards, with higher terrain around Villages 7 and 8 and flatter land in Villages 1 to 3. Other parts combine hills and low ground.
The local police's 2026 jurisdiction information separately identifies eight villages in Chong Mai Kaeo. This varied terrain makes the village name important when identifying a destination within the tambon. Its administrative reference point represents the whole area rather than a mountain trailhead, a public viewpoint or the entrance to an individual farm.
