[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Kosum Phisai, Borabue and Na Chueak of Maha Sarakham Province, and Pueai Noi and Ban Phai of Khon Kaen Province.
[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Borabue district on April 1 1995[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 85 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
