Amphoe ") inNan Province , northernThailand .History
Na Noi was originally named "Wiang Si Sa Ket" (เวียงศรีษะเกษ). In 1899 it became part of the province Nan. Though it was originally planned to merge Sisaket and Tha Pla into one district, in 1903 Tha Plan was integrated into Uttaradit Province. In 1917 the name of the district was changed, to avoid confusion with the
Sisaket Province . [cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=34|issue=0 ก|pages=40–68|title=ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง เปลี่ยนชื่ออำเภอ|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2460/A/40.PDF|date=April 29 1917|language=Thai]Geography
