[edit] History

The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Mueang Nong Khai district on April 30 1994.[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] Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Tha Bo and Mueang Nong Khai of Nong Khai Province, and Phen and Ban Phue of Udon Thani Province.

[edit] Administration

The district is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 39 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) area, and further 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
