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]

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.

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).
