[edit] Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Sangkhom, Si Chiang Mai and Tha Bo of Nong Khai Province, and Ban Phue of Udon Thani Province.

[edit] History

The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on July 1 1997 by splitting off the three tambon Pho Tak, Phon Thong and Dan Si Suk from Si Chiang Mai 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 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 27 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
