'''Khlong Thom''' ({{langx|th|คลองท่อม}}, {{IPA|th|kʰlɔ̄ːŋ tʰɔ̂m|pron}}) is a district (''[[amphoe]]'') in [[Krabi province]], [[Thailand]].<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise): [[Ko Lanta district|Ko Lanta]], [[Nuea Khlong district|Nuea Khlong]], [[Khao Phanom district|Khao Phanom]], and [[Lam Thap district|Lam Thap]] of Krabi Province, and [[Wang Wiset district|Wang Wiset]] and [[Sikao district|Sikao]] of [[Trang province]]. To the southwest is the [[Andaman Sea]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
In 1917, the district's name was changed from ''Khlong Phon'' (คลองพล) to ''Khlong Thom''.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=34|issue=ก|pages=40–68|script-title=th:ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง เปลี่ยนชื่ออำเภอ|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2460/A/40.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111107143904/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2460/A/40.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 7, 2011|date=1917-04-29|language=Thai}}</ref><br />

==Administration==<br />
[[Image:Tambon 8104.png|left|160px|Map of districts]]<br />
<br />
The district is divided into seven sub-districts (''[[tambon]]s''), which are further subdivided into 67 villages (''[[muban]]s''). There are two sub-district municipalities (''[[thesaban tambon]]s''): Khlong Thom Tai and Khlong Phon, each covering parts of the same-named ''tambons''. Each ''tambon'' has a [[tambon administrative organization]] (TAO), responsible for the area not belonging to any of the municipalities.<br />

The residents of tambon Klong Phon's Ban Tha Maphrao community were the recipients of the 2018 [[Mechai Viravaidya]] Award. The award, funded by the [[Stock Exchange of Thailand]] Foundation, honours communities for outstanding social development initiatives. The award was granted for the community's reforestation of several thousand [[Rai (unit)|rai]] of [[mangrove]] forest destroyed years earlier by shrimp farmers. Today, about 70 percent of community residents, over 2,000 people, are able to earn around 500 baht per day by selling mangrove crabs, black crabs, and other marine life they catch in the forest or local waters.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Suksamran|first1=Nauvarat|title=CSR Thailand: 'Fishing' lessons to enrich the poor|url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/1458742/csr-thailand-fishing-lessons-to-enrich-the-poor|accessdate=5 May 2018|work=Bangkok Post|date=5 May 2018}}</ref><br />
