Kham Khuean Kaeo (Thai: คำเขื่อนแก้ว, pronounced [kʰām kʰɯ̀an kɛ̂ːw]; Northeastern Thai: คำเขื่อนแก้ว, pronounced [kʰa᷇m kʰɯ̄an kɛ̂ːw]) is a district (amphoe) of Yasothon province in northeastern Thailand.

History

[edit]

In 1917, the district was renamed Lumphuk after its central sub-district.[1] In 1953 it was returned to its original name, Kham Khuean Kaeo.[2]

When Yasothon was separated from Ubon Ratchathani province, Kham Khuean Kaeo was one of the districts which was assigned to the new province.[3]

Geography

[edit]

Neighboring districts are (from the northwest clockwise): Mueang Yasothon and Pa Tio of Yasothon Province; Hua Taphan of Amnat Charoen province; Khueang Nai of Ubon Ratchathani province; Maha Chana Chai of Yasothon Province; and Phanom Phrai of Roi Et province.

Administration

[edit]

The district is divided into 13 sub-districts (tambons) which make up 115 villages (mubans). Kham Khuean Kaeo is a sub-district municipality (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the sub-district Lumphuk. Each of the sub-districts have a tambon administrative organization (TAO).
