Krasae Sin (Thai: กระแสสินธุ์, pronounced [krā.sɛ̌ː sǐn]) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Songkhla province, southern Thailand.
Geography
[edit | edit source]Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise): Sathing Phra of Songkhla Province; Pak Phayun, Bang Kaeo, Khao Chaison, and Mueang Phatthalung of Phatthalung province; and Ranot of Songkhla Province.
The western part of the district is on the shores of Thale Luang and Thale Noi, the northern parts of the Songkhla Lake.
History
[edit | edit source]The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 16 February 1978, when the three tambons, Choeng Sae, Ko Yai, and Rong, were split off from the Ranot district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 4 July 1994.[2]
Administration
[edit | edit source]The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 22 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas within the district; there are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
