Chakkarat is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Nakhon Ratchasima province, northeastern Thailand.
History
In 1927 Tha Chang village was upgraded to a minor district (king amphoe) of Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima district. It was upgraded to a full district in 1953, and at the same time renamed from Tha Chang to Chakkarat. The district office was moved to Ban Talat Chakkarat in 1964. ==Geography==
The district is divided into eight sub-districts (tambons). Chakkarat itself has township (thesaban tambon) status and covers part of tambon Chakkarat. Missing numbers are tambons which now form Chaloem Phra Kiat District. ==References==
