Sak Lek (Thai: สากเหล็ก) is a district (amphoe) in the northeastern part of Phichit Province, northern Thailand.
Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Wang Sai Phun and Mueang Phichit of Phichit Province, Bang Krathum, Wang Thong and Noen Maprang of Phitsanulok Province.
History
The minor district was established on 1 April 1995 by splitting of the tambon Sak Lek, Tha Yiam, and Khlong Sai of Mueang Phichit District.[1]
Following a decision of the Thai government on 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]
Administration
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 44 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Sak Lek covers parts of the tambon Sak Lek. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
