Sanom (Thai: สนม) is a district (Amphoe) in the northern part of Surin Province, northeastern Thailand.
Contents |
The original name of the main town was Ban Nong Sanom (บ้านหนองสนม), which was a village under Mueang Surin. In 1893 it was reassigned to Mueang Rattanaburi, the present-day Rattanaburi distrinct.
The minor district (King Amphoe) Sanom was established on July 1 1971, when the five tambon Sanom, Khaen, Na Nuan, Nong Rakhang and Phon Ko were split off from Rattanaburi district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on April 12 1977.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Rattanaburi, Non Narai, Samrong Thap, Sikhoraphum, Chom Phra and Tha Tum.
The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 78 villages (muban). Sanom is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Sanom. There are further 7 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
