Monthon

Okay kiddo, so a Monthon is a word that describes a type of government structure that existed in Thailand a long time ago. It was kind of like a big region that had its own leader called a "monthon". It's like how you have a teacher who is in charge of your class, but there is also a principal who is in charge of the whole school.

Back then, Thailand was split up into different monthons, and each monthon was like its own little kingdom with its own leader. But there was still a big king who was in charge of everything.

So basically, a Monthon was a way to organize the government in Thailand a long time ago. But nowadays, they don't use this system anymore.
