[edit] Geography

Khok Salut is bounded to the north by Ban Rai, to the east by Bang Krathum, to the south by Sanam Khli and to the west by Phichit Province. Most of Khok Salut lies within the Nan Basin, although a narrow strip of land on the west side of the subdistrict lies within the Yom Basin. Both basins are part of the Chao Phraya Watershed. The Nan River flows through Khok Salut.

[edit] Administration

The subdistrict is subdivided into 10 smaller divisions called (muban), which roughly correspond to the villages in Khok Salut. There are 6 villages, several of which occupy multiple muban.
