Sangkhla Buri (Thai: สังขละบุรี, pronounced [sǎŋ.kʰlàʔ bū.rīː], Mon: ဝင်္ကlistenⓘ,pronounced [liəŋka]) is a district (amphoe) in Kanchanaburi province in western Thailand.

Geography

Sangkhla Buri is in the far west of the province, on the Myanmar border. Three Pagodas Pass is the border crossing station to Myanmar. A large part of the district is covered by the Khao Laem Reservoir, an artificial lake formed by the Vajiralongkorn Dam on the Khwae Noi River.

Neighboring jurisdictions are (from the west clockwise) Tanintharyi Division, Mon State and Kayin State of Myanmar, Umphang district of Tak province, and Thong Pha Phum district of Kanchanaburi.

History

In 1939 the district Wang Ka (วังกะ) was renamed Sangkhla Buri, which was previously the name of the minor district Thong Pha Phum.[2] On 20 May 1941 the district was downgraded to a minor district (king amphoe) and made a subordinate of Thong Pha Phum District. It then consisted of the four tambons: Nong Lu, Prangphle, Laiwo, and Lang Phu Sa.[3] It was again upgraded to full district status on 27 July 1965.[4]

Administration

The district is divided into three subdistricts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 20 villages (mubans). Wang Ka is a township (thesaban tambon) and covers parts of tambon Nong Lu. There are a further three tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
