Khlong Thom (Template:Lang-th) is a district (amphoe) in Krabi Province, Thailand.
Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Ko Lanta, Nuea Khlong, Khao Phanom and Lam Thap of Krabi Province, and Wang Wiset and Sikao of Trang Province. To the southwest is the Andaman Sea.
History
In 1917 the district was renamed from Khlong Phon (คลองพล) to Khlong Thom.[1]
Administration
The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 67 villages (muban). There are two subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon) - Khlong Thom Tai and Khlong Phon, each covering parts of the same-named tambon. Each tambon has a Tambon administrative organization (TAO), responsible for the area not belonging to any of the municipalities.
