Dan Chang district

Dan Chang (Thai: ด่านช้าง, pronounced [dàːn t͡ɕʰáːŋ]) is the northwesternmost district (amphoe) of Suphan Buri province, central Thailand.

Dan Chang was created as a minor district (king amphoe) on 30 August 1974 by splitting off three tambons, Dan Chang, Ong Phra, and Huai Khamin, from Doem Bang Nang Buat district.

Dan Chang is divided into seven subdistricts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 93 administrative villages (mubans).
