History

On 16 November 1978 the tambons Nam Nao and Lak Dan were split from Lom Sak District and made into a minor district (king amphoe).[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 19 July 1991.[2]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Phu Luang and Phu Kradueng of Loei Province, Phu Pha Man of Khon Kaen Province, Khon San of Chaiyaphum Province, and Lom Sak and Lom Kao of Phetchabun Province. The district's east side borders Phu Kradueng Mountain.

Nam Nao National Park is in the district.

Administration

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 30 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesabana) in the district. There are four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

gollark: Wonderful.
gollark: Ah yes, following the tradition of PotatOS, AvocadOS, BurritOS, YomatOS, TomatOS and ShutdownOS.
gollark: > I'm a dedicated member of the esolangs esocommunity - even if I only made three esolangs and they are mostly joke languages and not very good, I am pretty actively on the discord and contribute* to conversations. I would NOT do the problematic stuff you do such as randomly removing roles people liked, randomly muting and/or kicking people, generally punishing people excessively for small things, insulting people (e.g. telling them to kill themselves) for having different food preferences, breaking bots for ages, or deleting 2000 messages [DATA EXPUNGED], a mere orthographic projection of your badness.> Also, I want the nice staff color and want Nobody/Palaiologos (how do you SPELL THAT) to stop doxxing people. Additionally, I have many innovations I'd like to bring to the server, such as a dodecahedron emoji, and can help develop some of them because I am somewhat okay at bot development, if not graphic design.
gollark: Anyway, I do still need suggestions for improving my application.
gollark: Also, anyone can trigger an election at any time for any reason.
