Phan Thong, Administrative district in Chon Buri, Thailand

Phan Thong district extends across 173 square kilometers of land with eleven sub-districts and 76 administrative villages in eastern Thailand.

The district name originates from a local hunter named Thong who helped warlord Phraya Tak escape from Burmese forces during Ayutthaya's second fall.

A French missionary established the Saint Philip and James Catholic Church in 1867, creating a strong Catholic presence in Ban Hua Pai area.

The district manages public services through two sub-district municipalities and eight administrative organizations, serving over 62,000 residents.

The Catholic community in Phan Thong owns 10,000 rai of land, currently facing development pressures related to Eastern Economic Corridor initiatives.
