Contents |
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Yang Talat, Mueang Kalasin, Kamalasai of Kalasin Province, Changhan of Roi Et Province, Mueang Maha Sarakham and Kantharawichai of Maha Sarakham Province.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Kamalasai district on July 1 1997[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 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 48 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
