Lamae (Thai: ละแม, pronounced [lā.mɛ̄ː]) is a district (amphoe) in the southern part of Chumphon province, southern Thailand.
Geography
[edit]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
[edit]The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 July 1971, when the three tambons, Lamae, Thung Luang, and Suan Taeng, were split off from Lang Suan district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 12 April 1977.[2]
Administration
[edit]The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 47 villages (mubans). Lamae is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the same-named tambon. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
