Phanat Nikhom, Administrative district in Chon Buri, Thailand.

Phanat Nikhom spans across 450.9 square kilometers in the northern section of Chon Buri province, containing 20 sub-districts and 185 villages.

The district evolved from Mueang Phra Rot during the Dvaravati period to become Mueang Phanat Nikhom in 1828 under King Nangklao's reign.

The district served as a processing center for Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian refugees in 1980, facilitating their resettlement to other countries.

The area operates under postal code 20140 and connects to neighboring districts through public transportation networks linking Ko Chan, Bo Thong, and Ban Bueng.

Within Mon Nang sub-district stands a shrine dedicated to the Twelve Sisters accompanied by a Carissa carandas tree, both elements of local folklore.
