Contents |
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Aranyaprathet, Watthana Nakhon and Ta Phraya of Sa Kaeo Province, and to the east Banteay Meanchey of Cambodia.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established July 15, 1996 with area split from Ta Phraya 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].
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 38 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
