Phanom Dong Rak (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".) is the southwesternmost district (amphoe) of Surin province, northeastern Thailand.

History

The area was separated from Kap Choeng district and made a minor district (king amphoe) on 1 April 1995.[1]

On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] On 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise): Ban Kruat of Buriram province; Prasat, Kap Choeng of Surin Province; and Oddar Meancheay of Cambodia.

The district is in the Phanom Dong Rak Range, the hills that form a boundary between Thailand and Cambodia. The name of the district translates as 'Dongrak Mountains'.
