Ratchasan (Thai: ราชสาส์น, in Thai pronounced as /râːt.t͡ɕʰā.sǎːn/) is a district (amphoe) in the central part of Chachoengsao province, central Thailand.
The area of Ratchasan was separated from Phanom Sarakham district and became a minor district (king amphoe) on 16 February 1977.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 4 July 1994.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise): Phanom Sarakham, Plaeng Yao, and Bang Khla of Chachoengsao Province; and Ban Sang of Prachinburi province.
The important water resource is the Khlong Tha Lat.
