[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Wang Saphung, Pha Khao, Phu Kradueng and Phu Luang.
[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on July 1 1997 with territory split off from Phu Kradueng[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].
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 34 villages (muban). Nong Hin is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Nong Hin. There are further 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
