From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raman (Thai: รามัน) is a district (Amphoe) in the northeastern part of Yala Province, southern Thailand.
[edit] History
The name Raman is actually the Thai corruption of Reman, its original Malay name. Mueang Raman was one of the seven towns, into which the Sultanate of Patani was split in the beginning of the 19th century to reduce the power of the Sultan of Patani after a series of rebellions against the Siamese rulership. Tuan Mansor was appointed as the first ruler and resided in Kota Baru.
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Yarang, Thung Yang Daeng and Kapho of Pattani Province, Bacho and Rueso of Narathiwat Province, and Bannang Sata, Krong Pinang and Mueang Yala of Yala Province.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 16 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 88 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Kayu Boko covers parts of the tambon Kayu Boko, and Kota Baru the complete tambon Kota Baru. There are 15 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
