Ban Thaen (Thai: บ้านแท่น, pronounced [bâːn tʰɛ̂n]) is the northeasternmost district (amphoe) of Chaiyaphum province, northeastern Thailand.
History[edit]
Tambon Sam Suan, Ban Tao, and Ban Thaen were separated from Phu Khiao District to create Ban Thaen minor district (king amphoe) on 16 June 1965.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 25 February 1969.[2]
Geography[edit]
Neighboring districts are (from the southwest clockwise): Kaeng Khro and Phu Khiao of Chaiyaphum Province; Nong Ruea and Mancha Khiri of Khon Kaen province.
