History

The area of Nam Khun was originally part of Nam Yuen district. The government created the minor district (King Amphoe) on July 15 1996.[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]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Kantharalak of Sisaket Province, Thung Si Udom, Det Udom and Nam Yuen of Ubon Ratchathani, and Preah Vihear of Cambodia.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 49 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
