[edit] History
The government created the minor district (King Amphoe) Na Chaluai on February 1 1972, when the three tambon Na Chaluai, Phon Sawan and Non Sombun were split off from Det Udom district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on April 12 1977.[2]
More than 80% of Na Chaluai people moved from other districts. This area was a battle field of Communist Party of Thailand and the Royal Thai Army.
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Nam Yuen, Det Udom, Buntharik and the Laotian province of Champasak.
The Phu Chong Na Yoi National Park is located in the district.
The important water resource is the Dom Yai river.

The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 68 villages (muban). Na Chaluai is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Na Chaluai. There are further 6 Tambon administrative organizations.
