geography

The district is located in the southeast of the province. It consists of a narrow strip of land along the coast to the Gulf of Thailand , separated from Cambodia by the Cardamom Mountains .

history

In the past, the area was part of the Patchanta Khiri Khet province (now Koh Kong ). Unlike other parts of Koh Kong, this stretch of land was given to Siam by the Franco-Siamese treaty during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) in exchange for areas east of the Mekong and provinces in west Cambodia such as Battambang, Siam Nakhon and Sisophon .

In 1912, Khlong Yai was initially set up as a “branch circle” ( King Amphoe ) , and in 1959 it was upgraded to a complete amphoe.
