Na Khu (Thai: นาคู, pronounced [nāː kʰūː]) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Kalasin province, northeastern Thailand.

Geography

[edit]

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise): Khao Wong, Kuchinarai, and Huai Phueng of Kalasin Province; Phu Phan and Tao Ngoi of Sakon Nakhon province; and Dong Luang of Mukdahan province.

History

[edit]

The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 April 1995, when it was split off from Khao Wong district.[1]

On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August, the upgrade became official.[3]
