History

The minor district (king amphoe) Si Wilai was established on 1 January 1988, when four tambons, Si Wilai, Chumphu Phon, Na Saeng, and Na Sabaeng were split off from Bueng Kan district.[2] It was upgraded to a full district on 4 July 1994.[3]

Administration

The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 50 villages (mubans). The sub-district municipality (thesaban tambon) Si Wilai covers the whole tambon Si Wilai. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
