Khwao Sinarin (Thai: เขวาสินรินทร์) is a district (Amphoe) of Surin Province, northeastern Thailand.
Contents |
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on July 15 1996 with area split from Mueang Surin 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]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Chom Phra, Sikhoraphum and Mueang Surin.
The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 58 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
