Nong Chik (Thai: หนองจิก) is a district (Amphoe) in Pattani Province, southern Thailand.
[edit] 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.
[edit] 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.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 12 communes (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).
