Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise): Kham Muang, Sahatsakhan, and Nong Kung Si of Kalasin Province and Wang Sam Mo of Udon Thani Province.

History

The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 April 1995, when it was split off from Kham Muang District.[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]

Administration

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 46 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

gollark: You know, remote annoying beep enablement would be great on my constantly lost phone.
gollark: Shame PC speakers aren't around so you can't remotely beep them.
gollark: That makes you a BLASPH.
gollark: Ah. I see.

I accidentally gave it my neural connector, and while trying to figure out how to get it back swapped my armor onto it (turns out shiftrightclick does that). Eventually I got them both back, but while my elytra was on the stand aus210 stole it. I asked for it back and they repeatedly denied it.They have claimed:- they can keep it because I intentionally left it there (this is wrong, and I said so)- there was no evidence that it was mine so they can keep it (...)EDIT: valithor got involved and got them to actually give it back, which they did after ~10 minutes of generally delaying, apparently leaving it in storage, and dropping it wrong.
