Amphoe Mueang Sa Kaeo (Thai: เมืองสระแก้ว) is the capital district (Amphoe Mueang) of Sa Kaeo Province, eastern Thailand.
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Khon Buri of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Watthana Nakhon and Khao Chakan of Sa Kaeo, and Kabin Buri and Na Di of Prachinburi Province.
Within the forested hills at the boundary between Sa Kaeo and Prachinburi Province is the Pang Sida National Park.
[edit] History
1909 the minor district (King Amphoe) Sa Kaeo was established as a subordinate of Kabinburi district. It was upgraded to a full district on July 23 1958. When in 1993 the new Sa Kaeo province was created, the district became the capital district of the province.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 8 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 124 villages (muban). Sa Kaeo itself has town status (thesaban mueang) and covers parts of the tambon Sa Kaeo and Tha Kasem. There are also two townships (thesaban tambon) - Tha Kasem and Sala Lamduan both covering parts of the same-named tambon. There are further 8 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
