The Bang Mot tangerine (Thai: สม ส บางมด, RTGS: som Bang Mot, pronounced [sôm bāːŋ mót]) is a local
cultivar of the mandarin orange grown in the Bang Mot area of Thon Buri, Bangkok, Thailand. Despite its
common name, it is a mandarin orange of the species Citrus reticulata and not a tangerine (Citrus
tangerina). In 1924, a local farmer brought cuttings from a mandarin grove in Bangkok Noi District and
planted them at Bang Mot, Thung Khru District near Bang Mot canal in 1924. This area has very fertile
soil with elevated levels of potassium giving the fruit a sweet-sour taste.[1] There were up to 96 square
kilometres of tangerine groves in the past.

Flooding in Thon Buri in 1967 killed many of the 'Bang Mot' tangerine trees.[2] The floods made many
farmers reluctant to plant it again. Rapid urban expansion of Bangkok also reduced the land available for
planting.
