Mueang Amnat Charoen (Thai: เมืองอำนาจเจริญ) is the capital district (Amphoe Mueang) of Amnat Charoen Province, northeastern Thailand.
[edit] History
Originally Amnat Charoen was a Mueang under Mueang Khemarat. In the thesaphiban administrative reforms around 1900 it was reassigned to Ubon Ratchathani and converted into a district. In 1993 the new province Amnat Charoen was created, and the district was then renamed to Mueang Amnat Charoen.
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Senangkhanikhom, Pathum Ratchawongsa, Phana, Lue Amnat and Hua Taphan of Amnat Charoen Province, and Pa Tio and Thai Charoen of Yasothon Province.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 19 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 212 villages (muban). The town (thesaban mueang) Amnat Charoen covers parts of the tambon Bung. Nam Plik is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the same-named tambon. There are further 19 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
