Mueang Chan ( Thai: เมืองจันทร์, pronounced [mɯ̄a̯ŋ t͡ɕān]) is a district ( amphoe) of Sisaket province, northeastern Thailand.
The minor district ( king amphoe) was created on 1 April 1992, when three tambons were split off from Uthumphon Phisai district. [1] It was upgraded to a full district on 11 October 1997. [2]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Pho Si Suwan, Uthumphon Phisai, and Huai Thap Than of Sisaket Province; Samrong Thap, Non Narai, and Rattanaburi of Surin province.
The district is divided into three sub-districts ( tambons), which are further subdivided into 52 villages ( mubans). There are no municipal ( thesaban) areas. There are three tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
