Muang Sam Sip ({{langx|th|ม่วงสามสิบ}}, {{IPA|th|mûaŋ sǎːm sìp|pron}}; {{langx|tts|ม่วงสามสิบ}}, {{IPA|tts|mūaŋ sǎːm sȉp|pron}}) is a district (amphoe) in the northwestern part of Ubon Ratchathani province, northeastern Thailand.
History
In 1909 the government merged Kasem Sima and Utarupala Nikhom Districts together and named the new district Utara Ubon. Four years later, the district name was changed back to Kasem Sima.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=30|issue=ง|pages=1536–1537|script-title=th:แจ้งความกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง เปลี่ยนนามอำเภอ|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2456/D/1536.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125104028/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2456/D/1536.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 25, 2012|date=October 12, 1913|language=Thai}} The district office was moved to Ban Muang Sam Sip in 1917, so the district name was changed to fit with the new location.
