Suwannaphum, Administrative district in Roi Et, Thailand

The district spreads across 1,107 square kilometers of eastern Thailand, containing fifteen sub-districts with 195 villages at an elevation of 143 meters.

In 1718, an official from the Kingdom of Champasak established the first Lao muang in the Chi valley, forming a community of 3,000 people.

The district maintains traditional governance through tambon administrative organizations, which manage local services across numerous rural and urban communities.

The district headquarters in Sa Khu provides administrative services, while local accommodations include PPN Garden Resort and Sinsiri hostel for visitors.

The name Suwannaphum refers to a legendary golden land believed to have existed on the Chao Phraya plain during ancient times.
