[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Yang Talat, Mueang Kalasin, Kamalasai of Kalasin Province, Changhan of Roi Et Province, Mueang Maha Sarakham and Kantharawichai of Maha Sarakham Province.
[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Kamalasai 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] Administration
The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 48 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
