'''Wat Bot''' ({{langx|th|วัดโบสถ์}}, {{IPA|th|wát bòːt|pron}}) is a district (''[[Districts of Thailand|amphoe]]'') in the northern part of [[Phitsanulok province]], central [[Thailand]].

==History==
Tambon Wat Bot was separated from the [[Phrom Phiram district]] and created as a minor district (''[[king amphoe]]'') on 1 January 1948. It was upgraded to a full district on 6 June 1956. The present district office was opened on 4 July 1991.

==Geography==
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise), [[Chat Trakan district|Chat Trakan]], [[Wang Thong district|Wang Thong]], [[Mueang Phitsanulok district|Mueang Phitsanulok]], and [[Phrom Phiram district|Phrom Phiram]] of Phitsanulok Province; [[Phichai district|Phichai]] and [[Thong Saen Khan district|Thong Saen Khan]] of [[Uttaradit province]].

Wat Bot lies within the [[Nan River#Nan Basin|Nan Basin]], which is part of the [[Chao Phraya River#Chao Phraya watershed|Chao Phraya Watershed]]. The [[Khwae Noi River, Phitsanulok|Khwae Noi River]] flows through Wat Bot District.

Portions of Wat Bot are part of the Khwae Noi National Reserved Forest, which was recently made part of [[Kaeng Chet Khwae National Park]].<ref name="Kaeng Chet Khwae National Park">[http://www.dnp.go.th/parkreserve/forprint.asp?npid=187&lg=2 Kaeng Chet Khwae National Park]</ref>

==Administration==
The district is divided into six sub-districts (''[[tambon]]s''), which are further subdivided into 61 villages (''[[muban]]s''). The township (''[[thesaban tambon]]'') Wat Bot covers parts of ''tambons'' Wat Bot, Tha Ngam, and Thothae. There are a further six tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

==Khwae Noi Dam project==
Construction of the new dam was to have been completed in 2007 on the 60th anniversary of the king's accession to the throne. Among the areas to be irrigated by the dam's reservoir are Tambon [[Thap Yai Chiang]] of [[Phrom Phiram district]], and the [[Thothae]] and [[Tha Ngam]] Subdistricts of Wat Bot. Construction of the dam was completed in 2008.{{CN|date=September 2016}}

==Economy==
Wat Bot is a district on the outskirts of Phitsanulok province, most of the area is in the [[List of protected areas of Thailand|reserved forest]].

Therefore, Wat Bot and two neighboring districts, Nakhon Thai and Chart Trakan, have the lowest prosperity index in Phitsanulok, lowest household income and highest household debt.<ref>หน้า 6, ''ไก่–ศุภกปรณ์ กิตยาธิคุณ พิษณุโลก ก้าวไกล ลุยปลดล็อกปัญหาที่ดิน''.
