Nopphitam (Thai: นบพิตำ) is a district (Amphoe) of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, southern Thailand.

Contents

History

The district was created on April 1, 1995 by splitting off the four western tambon from Tha Sala district[1].

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15, 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts[2]. With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official [3].

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the northeast clockwise) Sichon, Tha Sala, Phrom Khiri and Phipun of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province and Ban Na San and Kanchanadit of Surat Thani Province.

Nopphitam contains the northernmost part of the Khao Luang National Park, protecting a large part of the Nakhon Si Thammarat mountain range.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 38 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
