Phakdi Chumphon (Thai: ภักดีชุมพล, pronounced [pʰák.dīː t͡ɕʰūm.pʰōn]) is the westernmost district (amphoe) of Chaiyaphum province, northeastern Thailand.

History[edit]

Tambons Ban Chiang, Wang Thong, and Chao Thaong of Nong Bua Daeng district were separated to create the minor district (king amphoe) Phakdi Chumphon on 1 August 1988.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 7 September 1995.[2]

Geography[edit]

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Nong Bua Daeng, Nong Bua Rawe, and Thep Sathit of Chaiyaphum Province; Wichian Buri, Bueng Sam Phan, and Nong Phai of Phetchabun province.
