Lan Krabue (Thai: ลานกระบือ) is the northeasternmost district (Amphoe) of Kamphaeng Phet Province, northern Thailand.
Contents |
In the past the district area was covered by dense forests. Many wild animals visited salt lick areas inside, especially Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Thus the people called their village Ban Lan Khwai (Kwai is Thai for Buffalo). Later more and more people moved to establish their new estate in the area, then the government upgraded the village to be Tambon Lan Krabue of Phran Kratai district.
It was made a minor district (King Amphoe) on June 16 1977, when the two tambon Lan Krabue and Chong Lom were split off from Phran Kratai.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on July 16 1984.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Sai Ngam, Phran Kratai of Kamphaeng Phet Province, Khiri Mat of Sukhothai Province, Bang Rakam of Phitsanulok Province and Wachirabarami of Phichit Province.
The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 67 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Lan Krabue covers parts of tambon Lan Krabue and Non Phluang, and Cong Lom the whole same-named tambon. There are further 7 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
