Prachaksinlapakhom (Thai: ประจักษ์ศิลปาคม) is a district (amphoe) in central Udon Thani province, northeastern Thailand.

Geography[edit]

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Nong Han, Ku Kaeo, Kumphawapi, and Mueang Udon Thani.

The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 1 June 1997 by splitting it from Kumphawapi district. The creation became effective on 1 July 1997.[1]

On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August, the upgrade became official.[3]
