Ko Chan, Administrative district in Chon Buri Province, Thailand.
Ko Chan is an administrative district in Chon Buri Province that consists mainly of farmland spread across several villages. The area is worked by farmers who grow rice, sugarcane, and cassava as their primary crops.
The district separated from Phanat Nikhom in May 2000 and gained full administrative status in 2007. This change allowed the area to develop its own local government and management systems.
The area is shaped by farming traditions that show up in local markets and village gatherings where people come together regularly. Communities maintain their connection to the land through seasonal celebrations and the sharing of locally grown products.
The area is best explored by car since the villages are spread across rural roads that connect to major provincial highways. Visitors should expect rural conditions and plan local transportation ahead of time.
The district blends modern farming methods with traditional crop rotation practices across its villages. This mix of old and new techniques makes farming here particularly flexible and resilient to changing conditions.
