Pak Thong Chai, Administrative district in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.

The district covers 1,374 square kilometers of land with an elevation of 241 meters and contains sixteen sub-districts divided into 215 villages.

King Chulalongkorn established Pak Thong Chai as an official district in 1908 during the administrative reforms of Thailand's governmental structure.

The district maintains strong silk production traditions, with local weavers creating textiles that gained international recognition through merchants like Jim Thompson.

The district experiences temperatures between 20°C at night and 31°C during daytime, with January and February offering the most favorable weather conditions.

The area originated as Mueang Pak during the Ayutthaya period before King Taksin designated it specifically for people from the Vientiane kingdom.
