History

Sikhio was established as a sanitary district (sukhaphiban) in 1956.[2] In 1966 the area of the district was enlarged.[3] Like all sanitary districts, it was upgraded to a sub-district municipality (thesaban tambon) in 1999.[4] Effective 31 January 2008 it was upgraded to a town (thesaban mueang).[5]

Transport

Sikhio is on the northeastern railway connecting Bangkok with Nakhon Ratchasima. Mittraphap Road passes south of town.

gollark: I don't mean they'd specify a list of tags, I mean they would just provide titles and the system would magically™ determine (implicit) categories based on like/dislikes overlap.
gollark: It could probably work to have people just provide a list of things they like and how much, and have users specify people whose preferences match theirs to some degree (and to find them automatically via any overlap they do have), and then build a recommender thing out of that.
