Chang Klang (Thai: ช้างกลาง, in Thai pronounced as /t͡ɕʰáːŋ klāːŋ/) is a district (amphoe) of Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand.
The district was created on 15 July 1996 by splitting the three southeastern tambons from Chawang district.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] On 24 August, the upgrade became official.[3]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Chawang, Lan Saka, Thung Song, and Na Bon.
The district is divided into three sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 35 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and three tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
