Wang Wiset (Thai: วังวิเศษ, in Thai pronounced as /wāŋ wí.sèːt/) is a district (amphoe) of Trang province, Thailand.
The minor district (king amphoe) Wang Wiset was established on 15 July 1981 by splitting off five tambons from Sikao district.[1] The first temporary district office was in the temple (Wat) Rat Rangsan, (also named Wat Ton Prang) opened on 2 November 1981.
Wang Wiset was upgraded to a full district on 21 May 1990.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise): Huai Yot, Mueang Trang, and Sikao of Trang Province; Khlong Thom and Lam Thap of Krabi province; and Bang Khan of Nakhon Si Thammarat province.
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 70 villages (mubans). Wang Wiset is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Wang Maprang Nuea. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
