Huai Rat (Thai: ห้วยราช, pronounced [hûa̯j râːt]) is a district (amphoe) of Buriram province, northeastern Thailand.

Geography[edit]

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

History[edit]

The minor district (king amphoe) Huai Rat was created on 1 April 1990, when the five tambons: 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]
