[edit] Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Aranyaprathet, Watthana Nakhon and Ta Phraya of Sa Kaeo Province, and to the east Banteay Meanchey of Cambodia.

[edit] History

The minor district (King Amphoe) was established July 15 1996 with area split from Ta Phraya 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 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 38 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
