Khwao Sinarin (Thai: เขวาสินรินทร์, in Thai pronounced as /kʰwǎw sìʔ.náʔ.rīn/, also locally in Thai pronounced as /kʰwǎw sǐn.nā.rīn/) is a district (amphoe) of Surin province, northeastern Thailand.
The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 15 July 1996 with area split from Mueang Surin district.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] On 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Chom Phra, Sikhoraphum and Mueang Surin.
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 58 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas. There are five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
