Nong Chik (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a district (amphoe) in Pattani province, southern Thailand.

History

Nong Chik was one of the seven states (mueang) into which the Pattani Kingdom was split in the early-19th century to diminish the power of the often rebellious tributary kingdom. The capital was put in tambon Nong Mai (Yarang District). In 1901 the district office was moved to Tuyong, where it remains.

Due to the district office location in Tuyong, the district was renamed "Tuyong" in 1917.[1] In 1938 it was again renamed "Nong Chik".[2]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise): Mueang Pattani, Yarang, Mae Lan, and Khok Pho of Pattani Province; and Thepha of Songkhla province. To the north is the Gulf of Thailand.

Economy

Nong Chik is the center of the two year-old Orangpantai Fishing Enterprise (literally, 'sea gypsy company'). It is a cooperative that specializes in the catch, preparation, and sale of preserved fish.[3] Its specialty is salted four-finger threadfins, locally known as plaa kulao, as well as salted spotted mackerel or plaa insee, dried squid, and smooth-textured shrimp paste.

The majority of its members belong to the Pattani Provincial Small-Scale Fisher Network Association, which works with local fishermen to conserve marine resources. Association members have one important rule—they must refrain from using destructive fishing gear and nets that trap juvenile fish as by-catch. The enforcement of this rule has caused fish stocks in the area to rebound.[4]
