Kanchanadit (Thai: กาญจนดิษฐ์) is a district (Amphoe) in the province Thailand.
Geography
The district is located in the eastern part of the province. It stretches from the coast to the Bandon bay of the Gulf of Thailand in the north, the low river valley of the Tapi river to the west, and the Nakhon Sri Thammarat mountain range in the south and west. The Tai Rom Yen National Park was created on December 31 1991, protecting the forested hills of that mountain range.
Adminstration
The district Kanchanadit is subdivided into 13 communes (tambon).
The number of amphoe in a province differs, from only 3 in the smallest provinces up to the 50 urban districts of Bangkok.
The names of the Amphoe are usually unique, but in a few cases different Thai names have the same form in English due to the flaws of the romanization system.
The notable exception, however, is the name Amphoe Chaloem Phra Kiat, which was given to five districts created in 1996 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej's ascension to the throne.
Also the sizes and population of the amphoe differs, the lowest population is in King Amphoe Ko Kut (Trat Province) with just 2042 citizens, while Amphoe Mueang Samut Prakan (Samut Prakan Province) has 435,122 citizens.
The names of the Amphoe are usually unique, in a few cases different Thai names have the same name in English due to the flaws of the romanization.
Most of the tasks of the Amphoe are transferred to the King Amphoe, however it is still partially a subordinate of the Amphoe it was created from.
