Sakhrai (Thai: สระใคร) is a district (Amphoe) of Nong Khai Province, northeastern Thailand.

History

The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Mueang Nong Khai district on April 30, 1994.[1]

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15, 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts.[2] With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.[3]
