Sangkhla Buri is a district ("Amphoe") in the Kanchanaburi Province in western Thailand.

Geography

Sangkhla Buri is located in the far west of the province, at the boundary to Myanmar. The Three Pagodas Pass is the border crossing station to Myanmar. A big part of the district is covered by the Khao Laem Reservoir, an artificial lake formed by the Khao Laem dam in the Khwae Noi River.

Neighboring are (from west clockwise) Tanintharyi Division, Mon State and Kayin State of Myanmar, the district Umphang of Tak Province, and Thong Pha Phum of Kanchanaburi.

History

In 1939 the district Wang Ka (วังกะ) was renamed to Sangkhla Buri, which was previously the name of the minor district Thong Pha Phum.

It then consisted of the four "tambon" Nong Lu, Prangphle, Laiwo and Lang Phu Sa .
