Ban Dan (Thai: บ้านด่าน) is a district (Amphoe) of Buriram Province, north-eastern Thailand.
Contents |
The minor district (King Amphoe) Ban Dan was created on July 15 1996 by splitting 4 tambon from Mueang Buriram 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) Khaen Dong, Satuek, Huai Rat, Mueang Buriram and Khu Mueang.
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 59 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and further 4 Tambon administrative organizations.
