Phon Phisai

Phon Phisai extends over 642.7 square kilometers along the Mekong River, with eleven sub-districts containing 151 villages across its territory.

The district was formally established in 1906 after separating from Mueang Phon Phaeng, now part of the neighboring Rattanawapi district.

The district maintains numerous Buddhist temples, including Wat Luang, where local residents participate in traditional ceremonies throughout the year.

Visitors can explore the district's eleven tambons, including Chumphon municipality, which serves as the main administrative and commercial center.

The district's position along the Mekong River creates a natural border with Laos, connecting Thailand to Vientiane Prefecture and Bolikhamxai Province.
