[edit] History
The Ministry of Interior of the Government of Thailand created the "minor district" (King Amphoe) Na Chaluai on February 1 1972, when the three tambon (subdistricts) Na Chaluai, Phon Sawan and Non Sombun were split off from Det Udom district.[1] The subdistrict was later upgraded to a full district on April 12 1977.[2]
More than 80% of Na Chaluai people moved from other districts. This area was a battle field of Communist Party of Thailand and the Royal Thai Army around the time of Vietnam War. Currently it is a peaceful place.
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Nam Yuen, Det Udom, Buntharik and the Laotian province of Champasak.
The Phu Chong-Na Yoi National Park is located in the district.
The important water resource is the Dom Yai river.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 68 villages (muban). Na Chaluai is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Na Chaluai. There are further 6 Tambon administrative organizations.
