Sa Bot (Thai: สระโบสถ์) is a district (Amphoe) in the northern part of Lopburi Province, central Thailand.

[edit] History

The district was created on May 14 1981, by separating the Tambon Sa Bot, Maha Phot and Tha Thung Chang of Khok Samrong district. At first it was a minor district (King Amphoe), and was upgraded to a full Amphoe on January 1, 1988.

[edit] Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Khok Charoen, Chai Badan, Khok Samrong and Nong Muang.

[edit] Administration

The district is subdivided into 5 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 46 villages (muban). Sa Bot itself has township (thesaban tambon) status and covers all of the tambon Sa Bot. There are 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO) - Sa Bot, Maha Phot and Niyom Chai.
