Cho-airong (Thai: เจาะไอร้อง, in Thai pronounced as /t͡ɕɔ̀ʔ.ʔāj.rɔ́ːŋ/; Pattani Malay: แชย็อง, in Thai pronounced as /tɕʰɛː.jɔŋ/) is a district (amphoe) of Narathiwat province, southern Thailand.
Cho-airong was made a minor district (king amphoe) on 31 May 1993, by separating three tambons from Ra-ngae district.[1] On 5 December 1996 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Mueang Narathiwat, Tak Bai, Su-ngai Padi and Ra-ngae.
Cho-airong is divided into three sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 33 administrative villages (mubans).
