Khao Yoi (Thai: เขาย้อย) is a district (Amphoe) in the northern part of Phetchaburi Province, central Thailand.
[edit] History
The district was established in 1897 and Luang Phromsan (หลวงพรหมสาร) was assigned as the first governor. At first named Huai Tha Chang, the name of the district changed due to moves of the district office to Hua Saphan and Ban Noi, until it finally became Khao Yoi.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Pak Tho of Ratchaburi Province, Bang Khonthi of Samut Songkhram Province, Ban Laem, Mueang Phetchaburi, Ban Lat and Nong Ya Plong of Phetchaburi Province.
