Chulabhorn ( Thai: จุฬาภรณ์) is a district ( amphoe) of Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand.
The district was named in honour of Princess Chulabhorn, the youngest daughter of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, on her 36th birthday.
The district was created on 7 March 1994 by merging the two tambons, Ban Khuan Mut and Ban Cha-uat of Cha-uat district and the four tambons Khuan Nong Khwa, Thung Pho, Na Mo Bun, and Sam Tambon of Ron Phibun district. [1]
