The archaeological site of Ban Chiang (Thai: มู่ที่ 13 ตำบล บ้านเชียง Hamlet 13 Tambon Ban Chiang) is a world heritage site since 1992. It was settled from neolithic till Iron Age times, and and then abandoned from about 300 AD until the early 19th century. It is most famous for its red painted pottery.
Mueang Nong Han was one of the four original subdivisions of Udon Thani, which were converted into Amphoe during the Monthon thesaphiban administrative reforms in 1908.[1]
The district is subdivided into 12 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 161 villages (muban). There are three subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon) - Nong Han, Nong Mek and Ban Chiang each cover parts of the same-named tambon. There are further 12 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
