Wong Khong lies in the Nan Basin, which is part of the Chao Phraya Watershed.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Wong Khong” as subdistrict in Phrom Phiram district, Phitsanulok province, Thailand. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewMost useful as a place-based finding aid connecting the present description to earlier jurisdictions, maps and built evidence. The current 32-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Wong, Khong and subdistrict can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as subdistrict in Phrom Phiram district, Phitsanulok province, Thailand. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 31, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q8031994. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
