Dong Charoen (Thai: ดงเจริญ, pronounced [dōŋ t͡ɕā.rɤ̄ːn]) is a district (amphoe) in the southeastern part of Phichit Province, central Thailand.
Geography[]
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Bang Mun Nak and Thap Khlo of Phichit Province, Chon Daen of Phetchabun Province and Nong Bua of Nakhon Sawan Province.
History[]
The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 15 July 1996 by splitting off five tambons from Bang Mun Nak District.[1]
The Thai government on 15 May 2007 upgraded all 81 minor districts to full districts.[2] On 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]
Administration[]
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 54 villages (mubans). The township (thesaban tambon) Samnak Khun Nen covers parts of tambon Samnak Khun Nen. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
