Chiang Rak Noi (th|เชียงรากน้อย, in Thai pronounced as /tɕʰīaŋ raːk̚˥ nɔ́ːj/) is a tambon (subdistrict) in Sam Khok district, upper part of Pathum Thani province.

History

Chiang Rak Noi was originally administered by the local government in the form of a Council Subistrict. Later in 1997, it was upgraded to Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO).

Geography

Most of the area is lowland, Chiang Rak Noi lies on the Chao Phraya eastern bank, and has many khlongs (canals) flowing through it. Therefore, most of the population is engaged in agriculture.

Neighbouring subdistricts are (from the north clockwise): Chaing Rak Noi in Bang Sai district, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya; Tha Khlong in Khlong Luang district in its province; Ban Ngio and Ban Pathum with (across Chao Phraya river) Thai Ko in its district.

The subdistrict is 151NaN1 from the downtown Sam Khok.[1]

Climate

Rain falls in season and there is a fair amount of water, so there is enough water to use.[1]

Administration

The entire area is under the administration of Subdistrict Administrative Organization Chiang Rak Noi.

It is also divided into five administrative mubans (villages).[2]
