Kabang (Thai: กาบัง, pronounced [kāː.bāŋ]; Pattani Malay: กาแบ, pronounced [kāː.bɛː]) is the westernmost district (amphoe) of Yala province, southern Thailand.
The name Kabang is a Thai corruption of kabaeorkabe (Jawi: كاب), its original name in Patani Malay language. Kabaeorkabe is a kind of Rambutan tree.
The area of Kabang district was separated from Yaha district to create a minor district (king amphoe) on 1 April 1991.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 11 October 1997.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the northwest clockwise): Saba YoiofSongkhla province; YahaofYala province; and Kedah state of Malaysia.
Kabang is divided into two sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 19 administrative villages (mubans).
