Kong Ra (th|กงหรา, pronounced as /th/) is a district (amphoe) of Phatthalung province, southern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Srinagarindra, Mueang Phatthalung, Khao Chaison, and Tamot of Phatthalung Province, Palian and Yan Ta Khao of Trang province.
The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 October 1975, when the three tambons Kong Ra, Khlong Chaloem, and Charat were split off from Mueang Phatthalung district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 13 July 1981.[2]
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 45 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas. There are five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
