[edit] History
The minor district (king amphoe) Mae Kaen was formed on November 15 1973 by splitting the two tambon Sai Thong and Mai Kaen from Sai Buri district.[1] On July 4 1994 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Mueang Narathiwat and Bacho of Narathiwat Province and Sai Buri of Pattani Province. To the east is the Gulf of Thailand.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 17 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
