Su-ngai Kolok ( Thai: สุไหงโก-ลก, pronounced [sū.ŋǎj kōː.lók]) is a district ( amphoe) of Narathiwat province, southern Thailand.
The minor district ( king amphoe) was created on 2 January 1948, consisting of the three tambons: Su-ngai Kolok, Puyo, and Pase Mat from Su-ngai Padi district and Muno from Tak Bai district. [1] In 1953 it was upgraded to a full district. [2]
Neighboring districts are (from the southwest clockwise) Waeng, Su-ngai Padi and Tak Bai. To the southeast is the state Kelantan of Malaysia.
The main water resource is the Kolok River.
The district is divided into four sub-districts ( tambons), which are further subdivided into 19 villages ( mubans). Su-ngai Kolok itself has town ( thesaban mueang) status and covers most parts of the same-named tambon.
