[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Phon Sai, Suwannaphum and Phanom Phrai of Roi Et Province, and Sila Lat of Sisaket Province.
[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on April 1, 1995, when the three tambon Nong Hi, Sao Hae and Duk Ueng were split off from Phanom Phrai[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 54 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 4 Tambon administrative organization (TAO).
