Geography

Betong is located at the boundary to Malaysia. To the north is Than To, to the east Chanae (Narathiwat Province). To the south is the Malayian state of Perak, to the west Kedah.

In the past time, this area was under "Mueang" Raman, Monthon Pattani. It was officially upgraded to be a district in 1868 in the name Yarom. In 1930 Phra Phichit Banchakan, district head officer changed the district name to be Betong.
