The names of the Amphoe are usually unique, but in a few cases different Thai names have the same form in English due to the flaws of the romanization system.
The notable exception, however, is the name Amphoe Chaloem Phra Kiat, which was given to five districts created in 1996 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej's ascension to the throne.
