# Phrom Khiri district

Phrom Khiri (Thai: พรหมคีรี, pronounced) is a district (amphoe) of Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand.

## History

On 26 August 1974 the minor district (king amphoe) Phrom Khiri was formed with the three tambons Phrom Lok, Ban Ko, and In Khiri split from Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat district. On 13 July 1981 it was upgraded to a full district.

## Geography

Phrom Khiri is located 16 km (9.9 mi) from Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport, and taking approximately 20 minutes to reach.

The district is located in the midst of rubber plantations and surrounded by lush forests. There're small streets cutting through to allow access to the village.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Nopphitam, Tha Sala, Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat, Lan Saka, and Phipun.

## Administration

The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 39 villages (mubans). There are two townships (thesaban tambons): Phrom Lok covers parts of tambons Phrom Lok and Ban Ko, and Thon Hong part of the same-named tambon. Each tambon has its non-municipal areas administered by a tambon administrative organization (TAO).
