​Originally, Pathio or Pathiu in Thai, it was a small city and has records since Ayutthaya era. It stated that Mueang Uthumporn (Chumphon), which was a part of Nakhon Si Thammarat Kingdom and the narrowest part of Isthmus of Kra, was located at Baan Tha Kharm, Tha Sae District, “Mueang Pathio”. It was the passage of local people travelling from the west to the highlands, such as, Don Ta Then, Don Yai Shi, Don Ta Kien, Baan Hau Norn, and Baan Koh or Kor Cha-om.
