Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Tha Chana of Surat Thani Province, Phato and Lang Suan of Chumphon province. To the east is the Gulf of Thailand.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on July 1 1971, when the three tambon Lamae, Thung Luang and Suan Taeng were split off from Lang Suan district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on April 12 1977.[2]
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 44 villages (muban). Lamae is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the same-named tambon. There are further four Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
