Elevations

• 49 m and 400 m. The 2025 seed accession gives 49 m at its point. The 1951 sheet's later label gives 400 m for Tab Chang, Khiri Wong. The infobox gives the range between them.

Border

The border is the catchment of the stream through Khiri Wong above a point about 1 km downstream of the village, up to the Khao Luang ridge, within Lan Saka District: about 73 km², drawn from a terrain model (SRTM). Until October 2026 Kiriwong was a growing area drawn on almost the same catchment, cut off at the seed accession's point. It lay inside the Lan Saka growing area. The outlet now sits below the village, so the village and the 1951 sheet's two-decimal point (8.43, 99.78) fall inside. The rest of Lan Saka District is the Lan Saka appellation; the two share a border and do not overlap.
