Administration
The district is subdivided into 16 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 114 villages (muban).
The missing numbers 9-11 and 17 belong to communes which were split off in 1994 to form the district Phra Phrom.
Nakhon Si Thammarat itself has city status (thesaban nakhon) and covers the tambon Nai Mueang, Tha Wang, Khlang, and parts of Na Khian and Pho Sadet. There are further three townships (thesaban tambon) - Bang Chak each covering parts of the same-named tambon, Tha Phae covering parts of tambon Pak Phun, and Pak Nakhon covering parts of the tambon Tha Rai and Pak Nakhon. There are also 13 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
