Panare (Thai: ปะนาเระ) is a district (amphoe) in Pattani Province, southern Thailand.

History

The name "Panare" comes from Pattani Malay language. Pata means "sea beach", tare means "otter trawl". Thus Pata Tare means "a beach for drying otter trawls in the air". With time the pronunciation changed to Panare.[citation needed]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Sai Buri, Mayo, and Yaring. To the north and east is the Gulf of Thailand.

Administration

The district is divided into 10 sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 52 villages (muban). Panare is a sub-district municipality (thesaban tambon) which covers most of tambon Panare. There are further 10 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
