[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on January 1 1948, consisting of the three tambon Su-ngai Kolok, Puyo and Pasemat from Su-ngai Padi district and Muno from Tak Bai district.[1] In 1953 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the southwest clockwise) Waeng, Su-ngai Padi and Tak Bai. To the southeast is the state Kelantan of Malaysia.
The main water resource is the Kolok River.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 19 villages (muban). Su-ngai Kolok itself has town (thesaban mueang) status and covers most parts of the same-named tambon.
