Sikhio, Administrative district in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.

The district spans 1,247 square kilometers across the Dong Phaya Yen mountain range, featuring twelve sub-districts and 170 villages at an elevation of 324 meters.

Originally named Mueang Nakhon Chantuek, the district served as a frontier settlement between the Thai-controlled Chao Phraya valley and Lao-influenced Khorat Plateau until 1898.

The district contains ancient cave paintings at Khao Chan Ngam dating back 4,000 years, created using a mixture of soil and tree resin.

The area operates under postal codes 30140 and 30340, with main access through the Mittraphap Road and the northeastern Thai railway line.

The administrative center relocated multiple times in the early 1900s due to malaria outbreaks before settling in its current location at Ban Sikhio.
