Khao Chamao (Thai: เขาชะเมา, pronounced [kʰǎw t͡ɕʰā.māw]) is a district (amphoe) of Rayong province, eastern Thailand.

History

[edit]

The minor district (king amphoe) was split off from Klaeng district on 31 May 1993.[1]

On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]

[edit]

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 21 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesabans), but there are four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
