# Soeng Sang district

Soeng Sang (Thai: เสิงสาง, pronounced) is a district (amphoe) in the southeastern part of Nakhon Ratchasima province, northeastern Thailand.

## Etymology

The meaning of the district name in Thai is 'dawn' or 'nearly dawn'. The city temple is called Wat Thung Rung Arun Si Soeng Sang.

## History

The area was separated from Khon Buri district and became a minor district (king amphoe) on 7 May 1976. The minor district originally consisted of a single tambon, Sa Takhian. It was upgraded to a full district on 25 March 1979.

## Geography

Neighbouring districts are (from the north clockwise): Nong Ki, Non Suwan, Pakham, and Non Din Daeng of Buriram province; Watthana Nakhon of Sa Kaeo province; and Khon Buri of Nakhon Ratchasima Province.

One of the main attractions in Soeng Sang is the Chomtawan Reservoir.

## Administration

The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 84 villages (mubans). There are two townships (thesaban tambons), Soeng Sang and Non Sombun, both covering part of same-named tambon. Each of the sub-districts has a tambon administrative organization, responsible for the area not covered by the townships.
