[edit] History
The minor district was created on July 1 1997 by splitting the eastern part off from Phanat Nikhom 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] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Plaeng Yao, Sanam Chai Khet and Tha Takiap of Chachoengsao Province and Bo Thong and Phanat Nikhom of Chonburi Province.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 2 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 27 villages (muban). Ko Chan and Tha Bunmi are both subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon) which each cover parts of the same-named tambon. There are further 2 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
