History

The area of the district was at first a tambon of Mueang Nakhon Phanom District. On 16 June 1965 it became a minor district (king amphoe) consisting of the three tambons: Pla Pak, Nong Hi, and Ku Ta Kai.[1] The first district officer was Winai Bunratnaplin. On 17 November 1971 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]

Administration

The district is divided into eight sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 85 villages (mubans). Pla Pak itself has township (thesaban tambon) status and covers part of tambon Pla Pak. There are a further eight tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

gollark: I see.
gollark: Oops too many newlines.
gollark: Quoted from my notes:The relevant factors for course choice are probably something like this, vaguely in order: “personal fit” - how much I'll actually like it. This is quite hard to tell in advance. During the Y11 careers interview I was recommended some kind of trial thing for engineering, but I doubt that's on now, like many other things. Probably more important than other things, as I'd spend 3-5 years on said course, will perform better if I do enjoy it, and will probably not get much use out of studying a subject I would not like enough to do work related to. flexibility/generality - what options are opened by studying this stuff? Especially important in a changing and unpredictable world. how hard a subject is to learn out of university - relates to necessity of feedback from people who know it much better, specialized equipment needed, availability of good teaching resources, etc. Likely to decline over time due to the internet/modern information exchange systems and advancing technology making relevant equipment cheaper. earning potential - how much money does studying this bring? I don't think this is massively significant, it's probably outweighed by other things quite rapidly, but something to consider. Apparently high for quantitative and applied subjects. entry requirements - how likely I am to be able to study it. There are some things I probably cannot do at all now, such as medicine, but I didn't and don't really care about those, and there shouldn't be many. Most of the high-requirement stuff is seemingly available with more practical ones at less prestigious universities, which is probably fine.

gollark: Weird.
