Phakdi Chumphon ( Thai: ภักดีชุมพล, pronounced [pʰák.dīː t͡ɕʰūm.pʰōn]) is the westernmost district ( amphoe) of Chaiyaphum province, northeastern Thailand.
Tambons Ban Chiang, Wang Thong, and Chao Thaong of Nong Bua Daeng district were separated to create the minor district ( king amphoe) Phakdi Chumphon on 1 August 1988. [1] It was upgraded to a full district on 7 September 1995. [2]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Nong Bua Daeng, Nong Bua Rawe, and Thep Sathit of Chaiyaphum Province; Wichian Buri, Bueng Sam Phan, and Nong Phai of Phetchabun province.
The district is divided into four subdistricts ( tambons), which are further subdivided into 47 villages ( mubans). There are no municipal ( thesaban) areas. There are four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
