Prathai village was built in Khmer era. King Jayavarman II set his camp in the area when he expanded his power to the west. After his reign, Prathai was deserted. It became a community again in Sukhothai era.
Prathai in Khmer means camp.
Tambon Prathai was separated from Bua Yai district to create a minor district (King Amphoe) on January 1, 1961[1] and officially upgraded to be full district in 1963.[2]

The district is subdivided into 13 subdistricts (tambon). The subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon) Prathai covers parts of the tambon Prathai.
