Si Mueang Mai (Thai: ศรีเมืองใหม่) is a district (Amphoe) in the northeastern part of Ubon Ratchathani Province, northeastern Thailand.
[edit] History
This area was the central district of Khwaeng Mueang Khong Chiam, which is now Khong Chiam district. In 1959 the area was split off from Khong Chiam to form the Ban Dan minor district (King Amphoe). In 1961 it was elevated to a full district. On August 31 1971 it was renamed to Si Mueang Mai.
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the southeast clockwise) Khong Chiam, Phibun Mangsahan, Tan Sum, Trakan Phuet Phon and Pho Sai. To the east across the Mekong river are the Laotian provinces of Salavan.
The important water resource is the Mekong River.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 11 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 118 villages (muban). Si Mueang Mai is the only township (thesaban tambon) of the district, covering parts of the tambon Na Kham. There are further 11 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
