Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Krasang, Mueang Buriram, Ban Dan and Satuek of Buriram Province.

History

The minor district (king amphoe) Huai Rat was created on 1 April 1990, when the five tambon Huai Rat, Sam Waeng, Ta Sao, Ban Tako, and Sanuan were split off from Mueang Buriram District.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 8 September 1995.[2]
