Na Yai Am District

Na Yai Am (, ) is a district ("amphoe") in the western part of Chanthaburi Province, eastern Thailand.
History.
The district was created on 1 April 1992 by splitting off the five western "tambons" of Tha Mai District. It was upgraded to a full district on 5 December 1996.
Its name "Na Yai Am" directly translates as "grandma Am's rice field". This was because here in the past was the residence and rice field of an old woman named Yai Am (grandma Am) and a place where people passed by. Therefore called by name of the owner.
Geography.
Neighbouring districts are (from the west clockwise) Klaeng of Rayong Province, Kaeng Hang Maeo, and Tha Mai of Chanthaburi Province. To the southwest is the Gulf of Thailand.
Administration.
The district is divided into six sub-districts ("tambons"), which are further subdivided into 67 villages ("mubans"). Na Yai Am is a township ("thesaban tambon") which covers parts of "tambon" Na Yai Am. There are a further six tambon administrative organizations (TAO) responsible for the non-municipal areas.
