[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on April 30 1994 by splitting it from Mancha Khiri 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) Mancha Khiri, Chonnabot and Waeng Yai of Khon Kaen Province, and Khon Sawan and Kaeng Khro of Chaiyaphum Province.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 40 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Ban Khok covers parts of the tambon Ban Khok. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
