Kaeng Krachan (Thai: แก่งกระจาน) is a district (Amphoe) of Phetchaburi Province, central Thailand.

Contents

The district was created as a minor district (king amphoe) on January 1 1988 by splitting off the three tambon Kaeng Krachan, Song Phi Nong and Wang Chan from Tha Yang district.[1] On November 3, 1993 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Nong Ya Plong, Ban Lat and Tha Yang of Phetchaburi Province, and Hua Hin of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. To the west is the Tanintharyi Division of Myanmar.

Most of the area of the district are the forested hills of the Kaeng Krachan National Park. Both the Phetchaburi and Pranburi River originate within these hills. The district is among the lowest populated districts of Thailand.

The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 52 villages (muban). There are no municipal areas (thesaban) within the district, and 6 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
