Khok Pho (th|โคกโพธิ์, pronounced as /th/) is a district (amphoe) of Pattani province, southern Thailand.
The area of the district originally belonged to Mueang Nong Chik, one of the seven provinces of Pattani Kingdom. The district was established by splitting it from Nong Chik district, at first named "Mueang Kao" (Thai: เมืองเก่า). As the district office was in tambon Makrut it was later renamed "Makrut District" (Thai: มะกรูด).
In 1929 King Rama VII visited the district to see the solar eclipse on 9 May. During this visit he saw a building in Khok Pho which he thought to be more fitting as the district office, thus the office was moved there. In 1939 the district received its current name Khok Pho.[1]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Nong Chik and Mae Lan of Pattani Province; Mueang Yala of Yala province; and Saba Yoi and Thepha of Songkhla province.
Namtok Sai Khao National Park covers an area of 110 km2 of forested hills of the Sankalakhiri mountain range at the border of Pattani, Yala, and Songkhla Provinces.
Khok Pho is divided into 12 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 81 administrative villages (mubans).
