'''Pak Chom''' ({{langx|th|ปากชม}}, {{IPA|th|pàːk t͡ɕʰōm|pron}}) is the northeasternmost district (''[[amphoe]]'') of [[Loei province]], northeastern [[Thailand]].

==History==
The minor district (''[[king amphoe]]'') Pak Chom was created on 1 September 1967, when the three ''tambons'', Pak Chom, Hat Khamphi, and Chiang Klom, were split off from [[Chiang Khan district]].<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=84|issue=90 ง|pages=2603|script-title=th:ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง แบ่งท้องที่ตั้งเป็นกิ่งอำเภอ: แบ่งท้องที่อำเภอเชียงคาน ตั้งเป็น กิ่งอำเภอปากชม|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2510/D/090/2603.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120510202721/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2510/D/090/2603.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=10 May 2012|date=26 September 1967|language=Thai}}</ref> It was upgraded to a full district in 1971.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=88|issue=123 ก|pages=745–748|script-title=th:พระราชกฤษฎีกาตั้งอำเภอปลาปาก อำเภอเชียงกลาง อำเภอปากชม อำเภอบ้านม่วง อำเภอพังโคน อำเภอดอนสัก อำเภอพนม อำเภอเวียงสระ อำเภอสังคม และอำเภอหัวตะพาน พ.ศ. ๒๕๑๔|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2514/A/123/745.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224230135/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2514/A/123/745.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 February 2012|date=16 November 1971|language=Thai}}</ref>
