Sichon

Sichon is an administrative district in Nakhon Si Thammarat comprising nine sub-districts that extend from inland areas to the coastline along the Gulf of Thailand. The district connects inland and seaside communities across its territory.

The district developed from an early trading post into a structured administrative zone over time. Its role connecting coastal and inland areas has remained important throughout its history.

The nine sub-districts preserve Southern Thai traditions, with local temples serving as places where people gather for religious ceremonies and daily community life. These temples remain the heart of social activities throughout the region.

The district is reached via main roads from Nakhon Si Thammarat city, with local transportation services connecting different parts of the area. Travel is easier during the dry season when road conditions are more stable.

Wat Chedi temple houses a wooden carving known as I Khai where visitors traditionally leave rooster figures as offerings. This local practice shows how age-old customs continue in the present day.
