Kham Khuean Kaeo (Thai: คำเขื่อนแก้ว) is a district (amphoe) of Yasothon Province in northeastern Thailand.

[edit] History

Kham Khuean Kaeo was formerly named Uthai Sothon (อำเภออุทัยโสธร) when it was still a district of Ubon Ratchathani Province. The name was changed on November 4, 1953.

When Yasothon was separated from Ubon Ratchathani, Kham Khuean Kaeo was one of the districts which was relocated to the new province.
