Bua Lai (Thai: บัวลาย) is a district (amphoe) in the northeastern part of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeastern Thailand.

History

The area of Bua Lai was separated from Bua Yai district and made a minor district (King Amphoe) on July 1, 1997.[1] Most of the people of Bua Lai originally migrated there from Maha Sarakham and Roi Et Province.

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]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Waeng Noi and Phon of Khon Kaen Province, and Prathai, Sida and Bua Yai.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon). The township (thesaban tambon) Nong Bua Lai covers parts of the tambon Bua Lai.
