Sattahip district

Sattahip (Thai: สัตหีบ, pronounced [sàt.tā.hìːp]) is a district (amphoe) in Chonburi province, Thailand.

Neighboring districts are Bang Lamung to the north, Ban Chang of Rayong province to the east, and the Gulf of Thailand to the south and west.

Admiral Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse, a son of King Rama V, was sent to create a naval base at Sattahip.

He thought it was perfect owing to the many small islands that protected it from wind and waves.

There are three thesaban tambons, or municipalities: Sattahip, Na Chom Thian, and Bang Sare.
