Kut Rang (Thai: กุดรัง, pronounced [kùt rāŋ]; Northeastern Thai: กุดฮัง,[citation needed] pronounced [kǔt ha᷇ŋ]) is a district (amphoe) of Maha Sarakham province, northeastern Thailand.

Geography

[edit]

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.

History

[edit]

The minor district (king amphoe) was split off from Borabue district on 1 April 1995.[1]

All 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts in 2007.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August, the upgrade became official.[3]

Administration

[edit]

The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 85 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesabans). There are five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
