Dan Khun Thot District

Dan Khun Thot (, ) is a district ("amphoe") in the western part of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand.
History.
The town Dan Khun Thot was built before the reign of King Taksin. It became a district in 1908. At the same time, the centre of the town was moved from "Wat" Pho Chumphon to the west side of Ban Han School. The district was thus renamed Ban Han. Later it was named Phan Chana, until it was again renamed Dan Khun Thot in 1914.
