Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Nong Kung Si of Kalasin Province, Kranuan of Khon Kaen Province, Kumphawapi, Si That, and Wang Sam Mo of Udon Thani Province.

History

The minor district (king amphoe) Tha Khantho was established on 1 October 1962, when the two tambon Tha Khantho and Khok Khruea were split off from Sahatsakhan District. It was upgraded to a full district on 2 October 1965. Khok Khruea was later reassigned to Nong Kung Si District.

Administration

The district is subdivided into six subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 59 villages (muban). Tha Khantho is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers the whole tambon Tha Khantho and parts of Na Tan. There are further six tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
