Chaloem Phra Kiat (Thai: เฉลิมพระเกียรติ, in Thai pronounced as /tɕʰā.lɤ̌ːm pʰráʔ kìat/; เฉลิมพระเกียรติ, in Lao pronounced as /sā.lɤ̌ːm pʰàʔ kìat/) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Nakhon Ratchasima province, northeastern Thailand.
Five tambons were separated from Chakkarat district to create the new district on 5 December 1996. It was one of five districts named Chaloem Phra Kiat created on the same date to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the ascension to the throne of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX).[1]
Neighbouring districts are (from the north clockwise): Non Sung, Chakkarat, Chok Chai and Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima.
The district is divided into five subdistricts (tambons). The township (thesaban tambon) of Tha Chang covers parts of tambons Tha Chang and Chang Thong.
