Toponymy and population

edit

Its name literally translates to "development of Khlong Lan". The word Khlong Lan Phatthana consists of four components: Khlong means "canal", Lan means "Cây lá buông", a species of palm, and Phatthana means "development". It is said that since this quarter is the origin of many waterways, the first settlers used palm leaves to roof their houses. Hence the name.[2]

The subdistrict has about 20,000 populations, out of those 20,000 populations, 5,000 of them are ethnics. Those are Mon, Mien, Lahu, Lisu, Lua and Karen, six groups altogether.[2]
