Lao Suea Kok (Thai: เหล่าเสือโก้ก) is a district (Amphoe) in the northern part of Ubon Ratchathani Province, northeastern Thailand.

History

Lao Suea Kok was separated from Mueang Ubon Ratchathani district to create a minor district (King Amphoe) on April 30, 1994.[1]

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15, 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts.[2] With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.[3]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Phana of Amnat Charoen Province, Trakan Phuet Phon, Don Mot Daeng, Mueang Ubon Ratchathani and Muang Sam Sip of Ubon Ratchathani Province.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 53 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
