Bacho ( Thai: บาเจาะ, pronounced [bāː.tɕɔ̀ʔ]) is the northernmost district ( amphoe) of Narathiwat province, southern Thailand.
In 1908 the district was established as the minor district ( king amphoe) Champako (จำปากอ), [1] which was upgraded to a full district the following year. [2] In 1917 the district was renamed Bacho. [3]
The district was part of Sai Buri Province, which was abolished in 1932. While Sai Buri District came to Pattani Province, Bacho was added to Narathiwat. [4]
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Mueang Narathiwat, Yi-ngo, and Rueso of Narathiwat Province, Raman of Yala province, and Kapho, Sai Buri, and Mai Kaen of Pattani province.
Budo–Su-ngai Padi National Park is in the mountains at the border of Yala and Pattani.
Bacho district is divided into six sub-districts ( tambons), which are further subdivided into 46 administrative villages ( mubans).
