Lahan Sai (Thai: ละหานทราย) is a district (Amphoe) in the southern part of Buriram Province, northeastern Thailand.
Lahan Sai area was originally part of Nang Rong district. The area was fertile and covered by dense forest, so people from neighboring districts moved to establish new village there. When the community grew bigger, the government created a minor district (King Amphoe) on January 1 1962 to make it more comfortable for the citizen to reach public services. The new district covered the tambon Lahan Sai, Pakham and Thawon. It was upgraded to a full district on July 17,1963.
Lahan Sai means plain fertile width Hog Deers (Axis porcinus).
Neighboring districts are (from the southwest clockwise) Ta Phraya of Sa Kaeo Province, Non Din Daeng, Pakham, Nang Rong, Chaloem Phra Kiat, Prakhon Chai and Ban Kruat of Buriram Province. To the southeast it borders the province Oddar Meancheay of Cambodia.
The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 95 villages (muban). Lahan Sai is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Lahan Sai. There are further 5 Tambon administrative organization (TAO).
