Dan Khun Thot district

Dan Khun Thot (Thai: ด่านขุนทด, pronounced [dàːn kʰǔn tʰót]; Northeastern Thai: ด่านขุนทด, pronounced [dáːn kʰǔn tʰòt]) is a district (amphoe) in the western part of Nakhon Ratchasima province, Thailand.

The town Dan Khun Thot was built before the reign of King Taksin.

At the same time, the centre of the town was moved from Wat Pho Chumphon to the west side of Ban Han School.

Later it was named Phan Chana, until it was again renamed Dan Khun Thot in 1914.
