Prathai (Thai: ประทาย, pronounced [prā.tʰāːj]; Northeastern Thai: ผะทาย, pronounced [pʰā.tʰa᷇ːj]) is a district (amphoe) in the northeastern part of Nakhon Ratchasima province, northeastern Thailand.
Prathai village was settled in the Khmer era. King Jayavarman II set his camp in the area when he expanded his power to the west. After his reign, Prathai was deserted. It became a community again in the Sukhothai era.
Prathai in Khmer means 'camp'.
Tambon Prathai was separated from Bua Yai district to create a minor district (king amphoe) on 1 January 1961[1] and upgraded to a full district in 1963.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Phon and Nong Song HongofKhon Kaen province; Ban Mai ChaiyaphotofBuriram province; and Mueang Yang, Chum Phuang, Phimai, Non Daeng, Sida, and Bua Lai of Nakhon Ratchasima Province.
Prathai is divided into 13 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 151 administrative villages (mubans).
