Kut Rang (Thai: กุดรัง) is a district (Amphoe) of Maha Sarakham Province, northeastern Thailand.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Kosum Phisai, Borabue and Na Chueak of Maha Sarakham Province, and Pueai Noi and Ban Phai of Khon Kaen Province.

History

The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Borabue district on April 1, 1995.[1]

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15, 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts.[2] With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.[3]

Administration

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 85 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
