Dong Charoen (Thai: ดงเจริญ) is a district (Amphoe) in the southeastern part of Phichit Province, northern Thailand.
Contents |
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Bang Mun Nak and Thap Khlo of Phichit Province, Chon Daen of Phetchabun Province and Nong Bua of Nakhon Sawan Province.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on July 15, 1996 by splitting off 5 tambon from Bang Mun Nak 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 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 54 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Samnak Khun Nen covers parts of the tambon Samnak Khun Nen. There are further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
