Muang Sam Sip (Thai: ม่วงสามสิบ) is a district (Amphoe) in the northwestern part of Ubon Ratchathani Province, northeastern Thailand.
[edit] History
In 1909 the government merged Kasem Sima and Utarupala Nikhom districts together and named the new district Utara Ubon. 4 years later, the district name was changed back to Kasem Sima.[1] The district office was moved to Ban Muang Sam Sip in 1917, so the district name was changed to fit with the new location. The government built a new the district office there in 1924. The present district office was rebuilt in 1993 in the same area.
