About Lam Mai Subdistrict
Lam Mai (ตำบลลำใหม่) is a subdistrict in Mueang Yala District, Yala. Its administrative area includes communities served by different local-government jurisdictions, so a municipal address or figure should not automatically describe the full tambon.
The subdistrict authority preserves an oral account in which an elephant belonging to an earlier Yala ruler escaped from Lam Phaya and was tethered again at a new location. The name Lam Mai is associated in that story with tethering anew. This links neighbouring place names through local memory; it should not be treated as a precisely dated historical event.
Confirm the village and the relevant municipality or SAO when seeking local services. For a community-history visit, arrange a knowledgeable local contact in advance rather than expecting a staffed attraction. The administrative map marker does not identify the place mentioned in the oral tradition or a particular council office.
