Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise): Sathing Phra of Songkhla Province; Pak Phayun, Bang Kaeo, Khao Chaison, and Mueang Phatthalung of Phatthalung Province; and Ranot of Songkhla Province.

The western part of the district is on the shores of Thale Luang and Thale Noi, the northern parts of the Songkhla Lake.

History

The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 16 February 1978, when the three tambons, Choeng Sae, Ko Yai, and Rong, were split off from Ranot District.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 4 July 1994.[2]

Administration

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 22 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas within the district; there are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
