[edit] History

Na Haeo area was the rural part of Dan Sai district. For the people in Na Haeo it was inconvenient to contact to the public services due to the large distance. The government split off the two tambon Na Haeo and Na Phueng from Dan Sai district and created a minor district (King Amphoe) on February 15 1970.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on September 8 1976.[2]

[edit] Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Dan Sai of Loei Province, Nakhon Thai and Chat Trakan of Phitsanulok Province. To the north is the Xaignabouli Province of Laos.

The important water resource is the Hueang River.

The Phu Suan Sai National Park is located in this district.

[edit] Administration

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 34 villages (muban). Na Haeo is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Na Haeo. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
