Kut Rang (Thai: กุดรัง, pronounced [kùt rāŋ]) is a district (amphoe) of Maha Sarakham Province, northeastern Thailand.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Kosum Phisai, Borabue, and Na Chueak of Maha Sarakham Province, and Pueai Noi and Ban Phai of Khon Kaen Province.

History

The minor district (king amphoe) was split off from Borabue District on 1 April 1995.[1]

All 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts in 2007.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August, the upgrade became official.[3]
