Wichian Buri (Thai: วิเชียรบุรี) is a district (Amphoe) in southern part of Phetchabun Province, northern Thailand.
History
In the past the area of Wichian Buri was administrated by the Mueang Tha Rong. King Rama III upgraded status of Tha Rong city by gathering Bua Chum and Chai Badan and changed the city name to be Wichian Buri. When King Rama V created Monthon Phetchabun, Wichian Buri became a subordinate of Phetchabun in 1898. The name of the district was changed to be Tha Rong by the law on April 17, 1939,[1] but changed back to Wichian Buri in 1944.
Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Bueng Sam Phan of Phetchabun Province, Phakdi Chumphon and Thep Sathit of Chaiyaphum Province, Si Thep of Phetchabun again, and Phaisali of Nakhon Sawan Province.
