Na Duang District

Na Duang (; ) is a district ("amphoe") in the eastern part of Loei Province, northeastern Thailand.
History.
The area of the district was originally Ban Na Duang of Udon Thani Province, a village named after the hunter Duang. He led people to establish a new village in 1881. Later the village was assigned to be part of "tambon" Thung Pho, Mueang Loei District in 1945 and "tambon" Na Din Dam in 1967. In 1976 it was upgraded to a tambon. Together with three more "tambons" it formed a minor district ("king amphoe") on 17 January 1977. It was upgraded to a full district on 19 July 1991.
