Sangkha, Administrative district in Surin, Thailand

The district encompasses twelve sub-districts across 1,009 square kilometers of land, situated at an elevation of 177 meters above sea level.

In 1763, the area gained prominence when local leader Chiang Kha successfully captured King Ekkathat's white elephant, leading to the establishment of Mueang Sangkha.

The district contains multiple Khmer temple ruins, including Prasat Muen Chai in Tambon Krathiam and Prasat Phum Pon in Tambon Dom.

Visitors can find accommodations at Manee Sangkha Hotel or Malinee Hotel, both located within the district's central area.

The southern section of the district borders Cambodia and features the Dângrêk Mountains, creating a natural boundary between the two nations.
