Seka (Thai: เซกา, in Thai pronounced as /sēːkāː/) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Bueng Kan province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Phon Charoen, Si Wilai, Mueang Bueng Kan, Bung Khla, and Bueng Khong Long of Bueng Kan Province, Na Thom of Nakhon Phanom province, Akat Amnuai, Kham Ta Kla, and Ban Muang of Sakon Nakhon province.
The main river of the district is the Songkhram River. The Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary is in the district.
The minor district Seka was established on 16 November 1958, when the five sub-districts, Seka, Dong Bang, Sang, Pho Mak Khaeng, and Tha Kok Daeng were split off from Bueng Kan district.[1] The following year it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
Seka is divided into nine sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 136 administrative villages (mubans).
