Bacho (Thai:บาเจาะ,pronounced[bāː.tɕɔ̀ʔ]) is the northernmost district (amphoe) ofNarathiwat province, southernThailand.
In 1908 the district was established as the minor district (king amphoe) Champako (จำปากอ),[1] which was upgraded to a full district the following year.[2] In 1917 the district was renamedBacho.[3]
The district was part of Sai Buri Province, which was abolished in 1932. While Sai Buri District came to Pattani Province, Bacho was added to Narathiwat.[4]
In 1975, fiveThai Malays were killed by Thai soldiers and their bodies thrown over a bridge into theSaiburi in Bacho district. The incident, known asKoto Bridge incident [th], sparked a massive demonstration inPattani province, lasting 45 days.[5]
