Khok Sa-at (Thai: โคกสะอาด) is a tambon (subdistrict) of Nam Khun district, in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand.[1][2] The subdistrict was established in 1991 through the separation of seven administrative communities (หมู่) from the southwestern portion of tambon Ta Kao.[1]

As of the 2025 consensus, the subdistrict had a population of 6,792, distributed across 9 villages (Muban; บ้าน or หมู่บ้าน), which are further organized into 12 administrative communities (หมู่).[3] It covers an area of 92.74 sqoare kilometeres.[2]

Khok Sa-at is bordered by the following neighboring jurisdictions, listed clockwise from the south: Choam Khsant District of Cambodia, Phu Pha Mok, Non Samran, Phaibun, Ta Kao, and Song.[2]

History

Prior to 1912, the area—then administratively part of Ta Kao Subdistrict—was governed under Khukhan, a former provincial unit of Thailand. In 1912, following administrative reorganization, the area was transferred to Det Udom District, and Det Udom itself was transferred from Khukhan province to Ubon Ratchathani province.[4] Subsequently, in 1974, the territory of Ta Kao Subdistrict was separated from Det Udom District and incorporated into the newly established Nam Yuen District, together with three other subdistricts formerly under Det Udom.[5]

In 1991, Khok Sa-at attained subdistrict status through the separation of the southwestern portion of Ta Kao Subdistrict.[1] Later in 1996, Khok Sa-at—along with its three administratively related subdistricts, Ta Kao, Phaibun, and Khilek—was separated from Nam Yuen District to form Nam Khun District.[6]

During the initial phase of its establishment, the subdistrict was governed by the Khok Sa-at Subdistrict Council (สภาตำบลโคกสะอาด), functioning as the local administrative authority in accordance with the prevailing framework of Thai local administration. In 1997, the council was formally reorganized and upgraded to the status of the Khok Sa-at Subdistrict Administrative Organization (องค์การบริหารส่วนตำบลโคกสะอาด).

Administration

The subdistrict of Khilek is subdivided into 9 villages (mubans; หมู่บ้าน) and 13 administrative communities (Moo or Mu;หมู่).[2][7] As of the 2025 census, it had a population of 8,755 people.[3] The entire tambon is governed by the Khok Sa-at Subdistrict Administrative Organization.[2]

The following is a list of the subdistrict's mubans, which roughly correspond to the villages.[3]
