'''Pak Thong Chai''' ({{langx|th|ปักธงชัย}}, {{IPA|th|pàk tʰōŋ tɕʰāj|pron}}; {{langx|tts|ปักธงชัย}}, {{IPA|tts|pǎk tʰôŋ sâj|pron}}) is a district (''[[amphoe]]'') in the southern part of [[Nakhon Ratchasima province]], northeastern [[Thailand]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The area was an important city in the [[Khmer empire|Khmer]] era, controlled by ''[[Mueang]]'' [[Phimai]]. In the reign of King [[Ramathibodi I|U Thong]] of [[Ayutthaya kingdom|Ayutthaya]] it was named ''Mueang'' Pak. When King [[Narai]] the Great built ''Mueang'' Nakhon Ratchasima as the northeastern frontier city of Ayutthaya, ''Mueang'' Pak was a frontier city of Nakhon Ratchasima, then called ''Dan Chapo'' (ด่านจะโปะ). King [[Taksin]] the Great changed the name of the city to Pak Thong Chai and set aside this area for [[Lao people]] from [[Vientiane]] kingdom. He promoted Phia Upparacha of Vientiane to be Phraya Wongsa Akkharat (พระยาวงษาอรรคราช), the governor of Pak Thong Chai.<br />
<br />
King [[Chulalongkorn]] (Rama V) changed the city status to a district (''[[amphoe]]'') in 1908 as part of the ''thesaphiban'' administrative reforms.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): [[Sung Noen district|Sung Noen]], [[Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima district|Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima]], [[Chok Chai district|Chok Chai]], [[Khon Buri district|Khon Buri]], and [[Wang Nam Khiao district|Wang Nam Khiao]].<br />
<br />
==Administration==<br />
The district is divided into 16 sub-districts (''[[tambon]]s''), which are further subdivided into 215 villages (''[[muban]]s''). There are six sub-district municipalities (''[[thesaban tambon]]s''): Mueang Pak, covering parts of ''tambons'' Mueang Pak and Thong Chai Nuea; Pak Thong Chai, part of ''tambon'' Pak Thong Chai; and Takhop covering part of ''tambon'' Takhop; Nok Ok, Lam Nang Kaeo, and Bo Pla Thong, and Nok Ok, Lam Nang Kaeo, and Bo Pla Thong each cover parts of the same-named ''tambons''.<!--??????
