[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Pla Pak and Na Kae of Nakhon Phanom Province, Khok Si Suphan and Phon Na Kaeo of Sakon Nakhon Province.
[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) Wang Yang was established on July 1, 1997, when four tambon were split off from Na Kae district[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 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 27 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban), and 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
