[edit] History

Tambon Rahan, Wang Cha-on and Bueng Samakkhi were separated from Khanu Woralaksaburi district to form the minor district (King Amphoe) Bueng Samakkhi on April 30, 1994 [1]. The government selected the name Bueng Samakkhi to commemorate the unity of the people in the district.

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts[2]. With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official [3].

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Khanu Woralaksaburi, Khlong Khlung, Sai Thong Watthana of Kamphaeng Phet Province, Sam Ngam, Pho Prathap Chang and Bueng Na Rang of Phichit Province.
