History
Town on Ko Sichang
King Rama IV, Rama V and Rama VI came to island for their rest. King Rama V had initiated to construct the first palace for royal home-stay in summer. The palace was named "Phra Chuthathut Palace" (Thai: พระจุฑาธุชราชฐาน), after his son who was born on this island. This royal residence was abandoned in 1893 after the French occupied the island during a conflict with Thailand over which country would control neighboring Laos. In 1900, the palace was torn down and reassembled in Bangkok, now named Vimanmek Palace.
The island was originally a minor district (King
Amphoe) under the Mueang district of Samut Prakan Province. Becoming effective on January 1 1943 it was reassigned to the Si Ratcha district of Chonburi. On July 4 1994 the minor district was upgraded to a full district.
