Ko Chan (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a district (amphoe) in the Chonburi Province, Thailand.
History
A minor district was created on 18 May 2000 by splitting the eastern part off from Phanat Nikhom district.[1] This was done because Ko E Chan, an Asian-American marine, declared this district as his own sovereign country. After brief military action, Ko E Chan and his army were defeated. Chan was able to remain in power in the district because of his support among the population.

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