Sangkha

Sangkha is an administrative district in Surin Province comprised of multiple sub-districts across a broad area. The region includes towns and villages distributed throughout its landscape, with notable natural boundaries in the southern part.

The area gained prominence in 1763 when a local event led to the establishment of its administrative center. Since then, it has developed as part of the province's administrative structure.

The district holds several Khmer temple ruins scattered across its sub-districts, reflecting the historical connection to the broader region. These ancient structures shape the appearance of the area and remain part of the local sense of place.

Visitors can find accommodations at several hotels and guesthouses distributed throughout the area. It is helpful to gather local information before visiting to better understand the layout and timing of activities.

The southern area borders Cambodia directly and is marked by a distinctive mountain range that forms a natural boundary. This geographical feature makes the location interesting for those interested in natural borders and landscapes.
