Monthon (Thai: มณฑล ) were administrative subdivisions of Thailand at the beginning of the 20th century.
 The Thai word "monthon" is a translation of the word "mandala" ("maṇḍala ", literally "circle"), in its sense of a type of political formation.
 The monthon were created as a part of the "thesaphiban" (เทศาภิบาล , literally "local government") bureaucratic administrative system, introduced by Prince Damrong Rajanubhab which, together with the monthon, established step-by-step today's present provinces ("changwat"), districts ("amphoe"), and communes ("tambon") throughout Thailand.
 Each monthon was led by a royal commissioner called "thesaphiban" (เทศาภิบาล), later renamed to "samuhathesaphiban" (สมุหเทศาภิบาล).
 The system was officially adopted by the 1897 Local Administration Act, after some monthon had been established and administrative details were sorted out.
