[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Satuek, Ban Dan and Khu Mueang of Buriram Province and Chumphon Buri of Surin Province.
[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on July 1 1997, when it was split off from Satuek 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 61 villages (muban). Khaen Dong is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Khaen Dong. There are also 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
