Pa Phayom (Thai: ป่าพะยอม, in Thai pronounced as /pàː pʰā.jɔ̄ːm/) is the northernmost district (amphoe) of Phatthalung province, southern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the southeast clockwise) Khuan Khanun, Si Banphot of Phattalung Province, Huai Yot of Trang province and Cha-uat of Nakhon Si Thammarat province.
The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 19 January 1990, when four tambons were split off from Khuan Khanun district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 7 September 1995.[2]
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 39 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesabans). There are four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
