Sa Bot ( Thai: สระโบสถ์, pronounced [sàʔ bòːt]) is a district ( amphoe) in the northern part of Lopburi province, central Thailand.
The minor district ( king amphoe) was created on 5 June 1981, by separating tambons Sa Bot, Maha Phot, and Tha Thung Chang of Khok Samrong district. [1] It was upgraded to full district status on 1 January 1988. [2]
Neighbouring districts are (from the north clockwise) Khok Charoen, Chai Badan, Khok Samrong and Nong Muang.
The district is divided into five sub-districts ( tambons), which are further subdivided into 46 villages ( mubans). Sa Bot itself has township ( thesaban tambon) status and covers all of the tambon Sa Bot. There are three tambon administrative organizations (TAO): Sa Bot, Maha Phot and Niyom Chai.
