Buachet district
district in Surin province, Thailand
Buachet (Thai: บัวเชด, pronounced [būa̯.t͡ɕʰêːt]) is a district (amphoe) in the southeastern part of Surin province, northeastern Thailand.
History
The minor district (king amphoe) Buachet was created on 21 August 1978 when the three tambons, Buachet, Sadao, and Charat, were split off from Sangkha district. At first a temporary district office was established at the base of the Patrol Police group of the area. It became a full district on 27 July 1984.
Geography
The southern part of this district is in the Dângrêk Mountains.
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Sangkha of Surin Province, Khukhan, Phu Sing of Sisaket province, and Oddar Meancheay of Cambodia.
Administration
The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 67 villages (mubans). Buachet itself has township (thesaban tambon) status and covers parts of the tambon Buachet. There are in addition six tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Buachet district” as district in Surin province, Thailand. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as district in Surin province, Thailand. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q475291. Authority coordinates are 14.527, 103.945. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1978 and 1984.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
