Huai Khot ( Thai: ห้วยคต, pronounced [hûa̯j kʰót]) is a district ( amphoe) in the central part of Uthai Thani province, northern Thailand.
Tambons Huai Khot, Suk Ruethai and Thong Lang were separated from Ban Rai district and formed Huai Khot minor district ( king amphoe) on 1 August 1984. [1] It was upgraded to a full district on 3 November 1993. [2]

The district is divided into three sub-districts ( tambons), which are further subdivided into 31 villages ( mubans). There are no municipal ( thesaban) areas. There are a further three tambon administrative organizations (TAO).[ citation needed]
