Dan Khun Thot, Administrative district in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand
Dan Khun Thot is an administrative district in western Nakhon Ratchasima province, consisting of multiple villages and rural communities scattered across the landscape. The terrain features gently rolling areas with farmland where residents cultivate rice, corn, and peppers.
The area was settled long before receiving formal administrative status in the early 1900s, and it underwent several name changes before adopting its current designation. These changes reflected administrative reorganizations during that period of Thai governance reform.
Silk weaving traditions remain visible in villages where families continue this craft as part of their daily work and livelihood. The practice connects residents to their heritage and shapes local commerce and social gatherings.
The area is best explored by car or motorcycle, as villages are spread across rural roads and distances between them are considerable. Basic services and accommodations can be found in village centers, though it helps to plan ahead for specific needs.
The district borders eight neighboring districts across three different provinces, making it a natural crossroads for regional commerce and connections. This central location has historically made it a junction point for trade networks.
