Sanam Chai Khet (Thai: สนามชัยเขต, pronounced [sā.nǎːm t͡ɕʰāj kʰèːt]) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Chachoengsao province, central Thailand.

History

Mueang Sanam Chai Khet was a city of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, a contemporary of neighboring Mueang Phanat Nikhom and Phanom Sarakham.

Being part of Phanom Sarakham district, on 6 January 1966 the three tambons, Khu Yai Mi, Tha Kradan, and Tha Takiap, were split off to form the minor district (king amphoe) Sanam Chai (สนามไชย).[1] It was renamed Sanam Chai Ket on 14 December 1972,[2] and upgraded to a full district on 28 June 1973.[3]
