[edit] History
The area of Sida was separated from Bua Yai district and made a minor district on July 1, 1997.[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) Bua Lai, Prathai, Non Daeng and Bua Yai.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 50 villages (muban). Sida is also the only township (thesaban tambon) and covers parts of the tambon Sida, Phon Thong and Sam Mueang.
