Lamduan ({{langx|th|ลำดวน}}, {{IPA|th|lām.dūa̯n|pron}}) is a district (amphoe) in the central part of Surin province, northeastern Thailand.

History

The district dates back to the Mueang Suraphinthanikhom (สุรพินทนิคม), which was established in 1871. In 1896 it was converted into the district Lamduan, which was later dissolved.

On 3 January 1977 it was reestablished as a minor district (king amphoe) by splitting off the two tambons, Lamduan and Chok Nuea, from Sangkha district.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=94|issue=6 ง|pages=190–191|script-title=th:ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง แบ่งท้องที่อำเภอสังขะ จังหวัดสุรินทร์ ตั้งเป็นกิ่งอำเภอลำดวน|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2520/D/006/190.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120214100018/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2520/D/006/190.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 14, 2012|date=January 18, 1977|language=Thai}} It was upgraded to a full district on 19 July 1991.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=108|issue=107 ก Special|pages=29–33|script-title=th:พระราชกฤษฎีกาตั้งอำเภอทุ่งตะโก อำเภอพะโต๊ะ อำเภอเขาค้อ อำเภอน้ำหนาว อำเภอวังจันทร์ อำเภอนาด้วง อำเภอเต่างอย อำเภอสิงหนคร อำเภอพระสมุทรเจดีย์ และอำเภอลำดวน พ.ศ. ๒๕๓๔|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2534/A/107/29.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111108015913/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2534/A/107/29.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 8, 2011|date=June 19, 1991|language=Thai}}
