Pho Tak (Thai: โพธิ์ตาก, in Thai pronounced as /pʰōː tàːk/) is a district (amphoe) of Nong Khai province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise): Sangkhom, Si Chiang Mai, and Tha Bo of Nong Khai Province, and Ban Phue of Udon Thani province.
The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 July 1997 by splitting off the three tambons, Pho Tak, Phon Thong, and Dan Si Suk, from Si Chiang Mai district.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August, the upgrade became official.[3]
The district is divided into three sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 27 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas. There are three tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
