Geography

History

The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 February 1973, when tambons Rong Kham and Samakkhi were split off from the district Kamalasai.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 10 October 1993.[2]

Administration

The district is divided into three sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 40 villages (mubans). Rong Kham is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Rong Kham. There are a further two tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
