Na Duang (Thai: นาด้วง) is a district (Amphoe) in the eastern part of Loei Province, northeastern Thailand.
[edit] History
The area of the district was originally Ban Na Duang of Udon Thani Province, a village named after the hunter Duang. He led people to establish a new village there in 1881. Later the village was assigned to be part of Tambon Thung Pho, Mueang Loei district in 1945 and Tambon Na Din Dam in 1967. It was upgraded to be a tambon and minor district (King Amphoe) in 1976, which was upgraded to a full district in 1991.
