Ban Kruat (Thai: บ้านกรวด) is a district (Amphoe) of Buriram Province, north-eastern Thailand.
[edit] History
The district was created in 1938 by splitting the single tambon Ban Kruat from Prakhon Chai district.[1] It was at first a minor district (King Amphoe). In 1965 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Lahan Sai and Prakhon Chai of Buriram Province, and Prasat and Phanom Dong Rak of Surin Province. To the south it borders the province Oddar Meancheay of Cambodia.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 9 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 122 villages (muban). There are two subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon) - Ban Kruat covers parts of tambon Ban Kruat and Prasat, and Talad Nikhom Prasat covers further parts of tambon Prasat. There are also 9 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO) responsible for the non-municipal areas.
