[edit] Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Wang Saphung, Pha Khao, Phu Kradueng and Phu Luang.

[edit] History

The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on July 1 1997 with territory split off from Phu Kradueng^[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 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 34 villages (muban). Nong Hin is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Nong Hin. There are further 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
