Nong Chik district

Nong Chik (Thai: หนองจิก, pronounced [nɔ̌ːŋ t͡ɕìk]) is a district (amphoe) in Pattani province, southern Thailand.

Nong Chik is the center of the two year-old Orangpantai Fishing Enterprise (literally, 'sea gypsy company').

[3] Its specialty is salted four-finger threadfins, locally known as plaa kulao, as well as salted spotted mackerel or plaa insee, dried squid, and smooth-textured shrimp paste.

The majority of its members belong to the Pattani Provincial Small-Scale Fisher Network Association, which works with local fishermen to conserve marine resources.

[4] Nong Chik is divided into 12 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 76 administrative villages (mubans).
