History

Tambons Dusong Yo and Chanae were separated from Ra-ngae District to create Chanae minor district (king amphoe) on 15 July 1983.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 1 January 1988.[2]

Chanae is the Malay name of a native Colocasia species.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise): Betong, and Than To of Yala province; Sisakhon, Ra-ngae, and Sukhirin of Narathiwat Province and the state Perak of Malaysia.

Demographics

In 1963, the Thai government launched the Nikhom Sang Ton Eng Pak Tai ('self-development community in the south') program to move families from Thailand's northeastern and central provinces to the Chanae and Sukhirin Districts of Narathiwat. A total of 5,633 families were relocated to Narathiwat, where each family was rewarded with 18 rai of land.[3]
