Huai Krachao ( Thai: ห้วยกระเจา, pronounced [hûa̯j krā.t͡ɕāw]) is a district ( amphoe) in the eastern part of Kanchanaburi province, central Thailand.
Tambons Huai Krachao, Wang Phai, Sa Long Ruea, and Don Salaep were separated from Phanom Thuan district and formed the minor district ( king amphoe) Huai Krachao on 30 April 1994. [2] It was upgraded to district status on 11 October 1997. [3]
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Phanom Thuan, Bo Phloi, Lao Khwan of Kanchanaburi Province and U Thong of Suphanburi province.
The district is divided into four sub-districts ( tambons), which are further subdivided into 67 villages ( mubans). There are no municipal ( thesaban) areas. There are four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
