Phrai Bueng (Thai: ไพรบึง, in Thai pronounced as /pʰrāj bɯ̄ŋ/) is a district (amphoe) in the central part of Sisaket province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Phayu, Si Rattana, Khun Han, Khukhan, and Wang Hin.
The area of the district was originally part of Khukhan district. On 1 October 1969 tambons Phrai Bueng, Samrong Phlan, Din Daeng, and Prasat Yoe were split off and formed the new minor district (king amphoe) Phrai Bueng.[1] On 22 August 1975 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 81 villages (mubans). Phrai Bueng is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambons Phrai Bueng and Samrong Phlan. There are a further six tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
