Ku Kaeo (Thai: กู่แก้ว) is a district (Amphoe) in the central part of Udon Thani Province, northeastern Thailand.
Contents |
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Nong Han, Chai Wan, Si That, Kumphawapi and Prachaksinlapakhom.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on April 30, 1994 by splitting it from Nong Han 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 37 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
