Kaeng Krachan

Kaeng Krachan district spans 2,500 square kilometers of western Thailand, featuring forested hills and six administrative subdivisions across sparsely populated terrain.

The district emerged on January 1, 1988, when three tambons separated from Tha Yang district, achieving full district status on November 3, 1993.

Local communities in the six tambons maintain traditional agricultural practices while operating under tambon administrative organizations rather than municipal governance.

The district contains no municipal areas but operates through six tambon administrative organizations that manage local services for 52 villages.

The forests within the district form the headwaters for both the Phetchaburi and Pranburi Rivers, supporting essential water systems in western Thailand.
