Non Thai District

Non Thai (, ) is a district ("amphoe") of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeastern Thailand.
History.
Originally, the area was "Khwaeng San Thia" (แขวงสันเทียะ). "San Thia" is Khmer, meaning 'a place to gather salt'. The name refers to the tradition of salt production in the area.
In 1900, "Khwaeng San Thia" was changed to a district and renamed "Non Lao". The following year it was named "San Thia". In 1919, the district name was changed to "Non Lao" again. Finally in the phase of Thai nationalism under Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, the district name was changed to "Non Thai" in 1939 to remove the reference to the Lao population in the name.
