Geography
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.
History
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]
