Kantharalak, Administrative district in Si Sa Ket Province, Thailand.

Kantharalak encompasses 1,236 square kilometers of varied terrain, containing twenty sub-districts and 279 administrative villages at an elevation of 168 meters.

Originally named Mueang Uthumphon Phisai under Mueang Khukhan control, the district changed its designation to Kantharalak in 1939, replacing its previous name Nam Om.

The name Kantharalak derives from Sanskrit and Pali languages, combining kandara meaning ravine with laksa denoting one hundred thousand.

The district borders Cambodia to the south along the Dangrek Range, providing access to Khao Phra Wihan National Park and its archaeological sites.

The administrative structure includes one town municipality formed from parts of Nam Om and Nong Ya Lat, plus two sub-district municipalities.
