Sida (Thai: สีดา, pronounced [sǐː.dāː]) is a district (amphoe) in the northeastern part of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeastern Thailand.

History

The area of Sida was separated from Bua Yai district and made a minor 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]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Bua Lai, Prathai, Non Daeng and Bua Yai.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 50 villages (muban). Sida is also the only township (thesaban tambon) and covers parts of the tambon Sida, Phon Thong and Sam Mueang.
