Administration

The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 70 villages (mubans). There are two townships (thesaban tambons): Kha Muang covers parts of tambon Thung Khlong and Phon parts of the same-named tambon. There are a further six tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
