Chuen Chom (Thai: ชื่นชม, in Thai pronounced as /tɕʰɯ̂ːn tɕʰōm/; ซื่นซม, in Lao pronounced as /sɯ̄ːn so᷇m/) is a district (amphoe) in the north of Maha Sarakham province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise): Chiang Yuen of Maha Sarakham Province; Sam Sung and Kranuan of Khon Kaen province; Huai Mek and Yang Talat of Kalasin province.
The minor district (king amphoe) was split off from Chiang Yuen district on 1 July 1997.[1]
The Thai government on 15 May 2007 upgraded all 81 minor districts to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 47 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesabans). There are four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
