Nong Bua Rawe (Thai: หนองบัวระเหว, pronounced [nɔ̌ːŋ būa rā.wěː], Northeastern Thai: หนองบัวระเหว, pronounced [nɔ̌ːŋ bùa lā.wěː]) is a district (amphoe) of Chaiyaphum province, northeastern Thailand.

History

[edit]

The area was originally a tambon of Chatturat district. It was separated and together with tambon Wang Takhe became a minor district (king amphoe) on 17 April 1978.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 1 January 1988.[2]

Geography

[edit]

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Nong Bua Daeng, Ban Khwao, Chatturat, Sap Yai, Thep Sathit, and Phakdi Chumphon.

Sai Thong National Park is in the district.

Administration

[edit]

The district is divided into five subdistricts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 58 villages (mubans). There are three subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambons), each covering the whole same-named subdistrict: Nong Bua Tawe, Huai Yae, and Khok Sa-at. The remaining two subdistricts have a tambon administrative organization (TAO).
