Wapi Pathum (Thai: วาปีปทุม) is a district (Amphoe) of Maha Sarakham Province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Na Dun, Na Chueak, Borabue, Mueang Maha Sarakham and Kae Dam of Maha Sarakham Province, Si Somdet, Chaturaphak Phiman, Kaset Wisai and Pathum Rat of Roi Et Province.
The district goes back to the Mueang Wapi Pathum, which was converted into a district around 1900.
Wapi Pathum is considered by other Thais living in Mahasarakham as being undeveloped and it is the butt of jokes regarding the residents of the district being backwards or the Thai equivalent of hill-billies.[citation needed]
The district is subdivided into 15 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 240 villages (muban). Nong Saeng is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Nong Saeng. There are further 15 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
