History

The two tambons Noen Kham and Kabok Tia of Hankha District were separated and created the new minor district (king amphoe) on 1 July 1997.[1]

On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official. [3]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Hankha of Chainat Province; Doem Bang Nang Buat and Dan Chang of Suphanburi Province; and Ban Rai of Uthai Thani Province.

Administration

The district is divided into three sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 48 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and three tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
