Thothae (Thai : ท้อแท้) is a sub-district in the Wat Bot District of Phitsanulok Province, Thailand.
The word thothae means 'tired', "weary", 'downhearted', or 'dejected'. It is formed from the two elements, tho (Thai: ท้อ) meaning 'discourage', and thae (Thai: แท้) meaning 'real' or 'genuine'.
According to local legend, the village is far from other villages, and the distance can make travellers weary. [1] [2] Despite the negative meaning, residents did not change the village name, only the Buddhist temple Wat Thothae (Thai: วัดท้อแท้) in Thothae was renamed Wat Thong Thae (Thai: วัดทองแท้; lit.: 'real golden temple'). [2]
Thothae lies in the Nan Basin, which is part of the Chao Phraya Watershed.
The sub-district is divided into eight smaller divisions called ( muban ), which roughly correspond to villages. There are six villages, two of which occupy several mubans. [3] Thothae is administered by a tambon administrative organization (TAO). The mubans in Thotae are enumerated as follows: [4]

ตำบลท้อแท้ มีตำนานกล่าวขานสืบต่อหลายชั่วอายุคน ว่าในอดีตการเดินทางแสนลำบาก ทางบกใช้เดินด้วยเท้าดีที่สุด คือขี่ม้านั่งเกวียน ทางน้ำใช้เรือพายตามลำน้ำ กาลครั้งหนึ่งเจ้าเมืองพิษณุโลก จะเดินทางไปที่บ้านท่าสาวงามโดยทางเรือ ตามลำน้ำน่านแบบพายเรือทวนกระแสน้ำ การเดินทางเป็นไปด้วยความยากลำบาก จนเกิดความท้อแท้เบื่อหน่าย ข้าวปลาอาหารที่นำไปก็เกิดบูดเน่าจึงได้หยุดพัก ท้องถิ่นที่หยุดพักให้ชื่อหมู่บ้านตำบลท้อแท้ คำท้อแท้มีคนรุ่นใหม่เห็นว่าไม่ไพเราะ พยายามเปลี่ยนใหม่แต่ชาวบ้านไม่ยินยอม จึงคงเปลี่ยนเฉพาะชื่อวัด จากวัดท้อแท้เป็นวัดทองแท้
