Lan Krabue district

Lan Krabue (Thai: ลานกระบือ, pronounced [lāːn krā.bɯ̄ː]) is the northeasternmost district (amphoe) of Kamphaeng Phet province, central Thailand.

Many wild animals visited salt lick areas inside, especially water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).

Later more people moved to establish their new estate in the area, then the government upgraded the village to be Tambon Lan Krabue of Phran Kratai district.

It was made a minor district (king amphoe) on 16 June 1977, when the two tambons Lan Krabue and Chong Lom were split off from Phran Kratai.

It still holds the record as the largest onshore crude oil source in Thailand.
