[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Aranyaprathet, Watthana Nakhon and Ta Phraya of Sa Kaeo Province, and to the east Banteay Meanchey of Cambodia.
[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established July 15, 1996 with area split from Ta Phraya district [1].
Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15, 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts[2]. With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official [3].
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 38 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
