Chiang Khong ( _th. เชียงของ) is a district ("Amphoe") in the northeastern part of Chiang Rai Province, northern Thailand.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the southeast clockwise) Wiang Kaen, Khun Tan, Phaya Meng Rai, Wiang Chiang Rung, Doi Luang, Chiang Saen of Chiang Rai Province. To the east is Bokeo province of Laos. The main river is the Mekong, which partially forms the boundary to Laos.

Due to its location, the district forms a gateway to neighboring country, mostly by boats traveling to Luang Prabang. Also bus travel on Asian Highway 3 from Ban Houayxay across the river to Boten at the Chinese-Laotian boundary is available. A bridge crossing the river is currently planned.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts ("tambon"), which are further subdivided into 117 villages ("muban"). There are two townships ("thesaban tambon") - Wiang Chiang Khong covers parts of "tambon" Wiang, and Bun Rueang covers the whole same-named "tambon". There are further 6 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).Missing numbers belonged to the "tambon" which now form Wiang Kaen district.
