[edit] Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Bang Mun Nak and Thap Khlo of Phichit Province, Chon Daen of Phetchabun Province and Nong Bua of Nakhon Sawan Province.

[edit] History

The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on July 15 1996 by splitting off 5 tambon from Bang Mun Nak district[1].

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].

[edit] Administration

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 54 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Samnak Khun Nen covers parts of the tambon Samnak Khun Nen. There are further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
