Khlong Hat (Thai: คลองหาด) is the southeasternmost district (Amphoe) of Sa Kaeo Province, eastern Thailand.
Contents |
The area originally was a forest with plenty of Mahat or Lakooch tree (Artocarpus lakoocha) along the canals (Khlong). When people moved to settle their new village there, they named their own village Ban Khlong Mahat. Later the name was shortened to Ban Khlong Hat. In 1984 Cambodian refugees fleeing from the Civil War migrated to the area of Khlong Hat. Then Thai government separated the area from Watthana Nakhon district and created a minor district (King Amphoe) for better administation in 1985. Mr. Luean Lueanrangsi was the first head of the minor district. It was upgrated to a full district on May 21 1990.[1]
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Soi Dao of Chanthaburi Province, Wang Sombun, Wang Nam Yen, Watthana Nakhon and Aranyaprathet of Sa Kaeo Province. To the east is Battambang Province of Cambodia.
The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 69 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and further 7 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
