Dan Chang (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".) is the northwesternmost district (amphoe) of Suphan Buri province, central Thailand.
History
Dan Chang was created as a minor district (king amphoe) on 30 August 1974 by splitting off three tambons, Dan Chang, Ong Phra, and Huai Khamin, from Doem Bang Nang Buat district.[1] The next year, subdistrict Nong Makha Mong was transferred from Doem Bang Nang Buat to the minor district.[2] The minor district was upgraded to a full district on 13 July 1981.[3]
Lauda Air Flight 004 crashed at a site three nautical miles north of Phu Toei, Huai Khamin, Dan Chang in 1991.[4]
