Nong Chik ( _th. หนองจิก) is a district ("Amphoe") in Pattani Province, southern Thailand.

History

Nong Chik was one of the seven states ("Mueang") into which the Pattani kingdom was split in the early 19th century to diminish the power of the often rebellious tributary kingdom. The capital was located in "tambon" Nong Mai (Yarang district). 1901 the district office was moved to Tu Yong, where it is still located today.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Mueang Pattani, Yarang, Mae Lan and Khok Pho of Pattani Province, and Thepha of Songkhla Province. To the north is the Gulf of Thailand.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 12 subdistricts ("tambon"), which are further subdivided into 74 villages ("muban"). Bo Thong and Nong Chik are two townships ("thesaban tambon"). Nong Chik covers parts of "tambon" Tu Yong, while Bo Thong covers the complete "tambon" Bo Thong and parts of Bang Khao. There are further 11 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
