Khong Chai (Thai: ฆ้องชัย, pronounced [kʰɔ́ːŋ t͡ɕʰāj]) is a district (amphoe) in the southern part of Kalasin Province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Yang Talat, Mueang Kalasin, Kamalasai of Kalasin Province, Changhan of Roi Et Province, Mueang Maha Sarakham and Kantharawichai of Maha Sarakham Province.
Mueang Fa Daet Song Yang (Thai: เมืองฟ้าแดดสงยาง) is the site of a prehistoric community surrounded by earthen mounds about five kilometres long. Evidence of its civilization are religious ruins in and around it, and a large concentration of boundary stones called bai sema or sema hin (ใบเสมา, เสมาหิน.)
The minor district (king amphoe) was split off from Kamalasai District on 1 July 1997.
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts. With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August, the upgrade became official.
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 48 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
