Prakhon Chai, Administrative district in Buri Ram Province, Thailand.

The Prakhon Chai district spans 890 square kilometers of land in the southern region of Buri Ram, containing sixteen distinct sub-districts and 199 villages.

The district underwent a name change from Talung to Prakhon Chai in 1939, marking a significant administrative transformation in the Thai provincial system.

Local artisans in Prakhon Chai maintain traditional crafts and prepare regional dishes using jasmine rice and fermented shrimp as primary ingredients.

The district administration operates through sixteen tambon organizations that coordinate services and development projects across all sub-districts and villages.

Archaeological discoveries in 1964 revealed Buddhist artifacts from the pre-Angkor period, establishing the district as a significant historical research location.
