[edit] Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Khao Wong, Kuchinarai and Huai Phueng of Kalasin Province, Phu Phan and Tao Ngoi of Sakon Nakhon Province, and Dong Luang of Mukdahan Province.

[edit] History

The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on April 1 1995, when it was split off from Khao Wong[1].

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts[2]. With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official[3].

[edit] Administration

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 54 villages (muban). Na Khu is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Na Khu. There are further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
