Soi Dao (Template:Lang-th, pronounced [sɔ̌j dāːw]) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Chanthaburi Province, eastern Thailand.

History

The government created the minor district (king amphoe) Soi Dao on 1 January 1988, by splitting off five tambon from Pong Nam Ron District.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 9 May 1992.[2]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Pong Nam Ron, Khao Khitchakut, Kaeng Hang Maeo of Chanthaburi Province, Wang Sombun, and Khlong Hat of Sa Kaeo Province. To the east is Battambang Province of Cambodia.

Administration

The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 68 villages (mubans). Sai Khao is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Sai Khao and Pa Tong. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
