Sakhrai (Thai: สระใคร, in Thai pronounced as /sàʔ.kʰrāj/; สระใคร, in Lao pronounced as /sáʔ.kʰa᷇j/) is a district (amphoe) of Nong Khai province, northeastern Thailand.
The minor district (king amphoe) was split off from Mueang Nong Khai district on 30 April 1994.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] Publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Tha Bo and Mueang Nong Khai of Nong Khai Province, and Phen and Ban Phue of Udon Thani province.
The district is divided into three sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 39 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas. There are three tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
