History edit
The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 2 January 1948, consisting of the three tambons: Su-ngai Kolok, Puyo, and Pase Mat from Su-ngai Padi district and Muno from Tak Bai district.[1] In 1953 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
Geography edit
Neighboring districts are (from the southwest clockwise) Waeng, Su-ngai Padi and Tak Bai. To the southeast is the state Kelantan of Malaysia.
The main water resource is the Kolok River.
Administration edit
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 19 villages (mubans). Su-ngai Kolok itself has town (thesaban mueang) status and covers most parts of the same-named tambon.
