Sikhoraphum in the past about 1,000 years ago, like most parts of Surin, it was part of the
Khmer Empire. Therefore, it is home to many ancient Khmer temples. The most prominent is
Prasat Sikhoraphum. Round about 1950s, Sikhoraphum was home to
Thai Chinese people. At that time there was still no water supply available, while electricity will be available from 06.00 p.m. until about midnight only. King
Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) and his wife Queen
Sirikit used to travel here by train to Ubon Ratchathani. Many people and students came to welcome. ==Administration==
