Sai Thong Watthana (Thai: ทรายทองวัฒนา, in Thai pronounced as /sāːj tʰɔ̄ːŋ wát.tʰā.nāː/) is a district (amphoe) of Kamphaeng Phet province, central Thailand.
Neighbouring districts are (from the south clockwise): Bueng Samakkhi, Khlong Khlung, and Sai Ngam of Kamphaeng Phet Province; and Sam Ngam of Phichit province.
The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 1 April 1992 by splitting off three tambons from Khlong Khlung district.[1] Originally named Thung Sai after the central tambon, it was renamed Sai Thong Watthana in 1995.[2] It was upgraded to a full district on 11 October 1997.[3]
The district Sai Thong Watthana is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (Tambon), which are further subdivided into 38 administrative villages (Muban).
