Yang Yai (Thai: ยางใหญ่) is a tambon (subdistrict) located in the northern region of Nam Yuen district, in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand.[1][2][3][4] It previously was the seat of a district named "Uthai Det Udom" (Eastern Det Udom) in Thailand's former province, Khukhan, until it was merged into the present Det Udom district and downgraded to the village in 1912.[2][5]
As of the 2021 consensus, it had a population of 6,280 people and 1,857 households in 12 administrative villages (Muban; บ้าน or หมู่บ้าน).[1] Neighbouring subdistricts are (clockwise from the south) Bu Pueai, Kao Kham, Yang, Non Sawan, and Phon Sawan.[2][3][6]
Before 1912, Yang Yai was one of the districts called "Uthai Det Udom" (Eastern Det Udom) in Thailand's former province, Khukhan, but, together with three other districts; Dom Pradit, Klang Det Udom, and Pachim Det Udom, it was merged to create a new district, Det Udom, with Mueang Det serving as the capital, and was also further downgraded to a village in the tambon Yang; the tambon's name refers to a group of three Yang villages in the region, including Yang Klang (Middle Yang), Yang Noi (Little Yang), and Yang Yai (Greater Yang).[5][7]
In 1979, five years after tambon Yang was transferred to a newly established district, Nam Yuen,[8][9] Yang Yai, along with eight other villages in Yang's southeast territory, was separated to form a new tambon, Bu Pueai.[10] However, it later became an independent tambon in 1988 by absorbing five other villages in the northern region of Bu Pueai.[2][11]
After independence, Tambon Yang Yai was governed by the Subdistrict Council of Yang until the council was later upgraded to the Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO) in 1996.[2]
