Chana (Thai: จะนะ) is a district (Amphoe) in the southestern part of Songkhla Province, southern Thailand.
Contents |
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Thepha, Na Thawi, Sadao, Hat Yai, Na Mom and Mueang Songkhla of Songkhla Province. To the northeast is the Gulf of Thailand.
Originally named Ban Na after the central tambon, in 1924 the name was changed to Chana by the government to avoid confusion with the district Ban Na in Surat Thani province.[1]
The name Chana is actually the Thai corruption of Chenok, its original name in Malay.
The district is subdivided into 14 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 138 villages (muban). Chana is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Ban Na. There are further 14 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
