Chanae (Thai: จะแนะ, in Thai pronounced as /t͡ɕā.nɛ́ʔ/) is a district (amphoe) in the southern part of Narathiwat province, southern Thailand.
Tambons Dusong Yo and Chanae were separated from Ra-ngae district to create Chanae minor district (king amphoe) on 15 July 1983.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 1 January 1988.[2]
Chanae is the Malay name of a native Colocasia species.
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise): Betong, and Than To of Yala province; Sisakhon, Ra-ngae, and Sukhirin of Narathiwat province and the state Perak of Malaysia.
In 1963, the Thai government launched the Nikhom Sang Ton Eng Pak Tai ('self-development community in the south') program to move families from Thailand's northeastern and central provinces to the Chanae and Sukhirin Districts of Narathiwat. A total of 5,633 families were relocated to Narathiwat, where each family was rewarded with 18 rai of land.[3]
Chanae is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 31 administrative villages (mubans).
