History

On August 26, 1974 the minor district (King Amphoe) Phrom Khiri was formed with the three tambon Phrom Lok, Ban Ko and In Khiri split from Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat district. On July 13, 1981 it was upgraded to a full district.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Nopphitam, Tha Sala, Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat, Lan Saka and Phipun.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 39 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Phrom Lok covers parts of the tambon Phrom Lok and Ban Ko, and Thon Hong part of the same-named tambon. Each of the tambon has its non-municipal area administrated by a Tambon administrative organization (TAO).
