Wang Chan (Thai: วังจันทร์, pronounced [wāŋ t͡ɕān]) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Rayong province, eastern Thailand.

## History

[edit]

The minor district (king amphoe) Wang Chan was created on 16 November 1977 by splitting off the two tambons Chum Saeng and Wang Chan from Klaeng district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 19 July 1991.[2]

## Geography

[edit]

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Khao Chamao, Klaeng, Mueang Rayong, Ban Khai and Pluak Daeng of Rayong Province, and Nong Yai and Bo Thong of Chonburi province.

## Administration

[edit]

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 30 villages (mubans). Chum Saeng is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambons Chum Saeng and Phlong Ta Iam. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
