Non Thai (Thai: โนนไทย) is a district (Amphoe) of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeastern Thailand.
[edit] History
Originally, the area was Khwaeng San Thia (แขวงสันเทียะ). San Thia is Khmer language, meaning a place to fulfill salt. The name refers to the tradition of salt manufacturing in that area.
In 1900, Khwaeng San Thia was changed to an Amphoe and renamed to Non Lao. However already in the following year it was named back to San Thia. In 1919, the district name was changed to be Non Lao again. Finally in the phase of Thai nationalism under Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, the district name was changed to be Non Thai in 1941 to remove the reference to the Lao population in the name.
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Phra Thong Kham, Kham Sakaesaeng, Non Sung, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima, Kham Thale So and Dan Khun Thot.
