History

The Ministry of Interior created the "minor district" (king amphoe) Na Chaluai on 1 February 1972, when the three tambons (sub-districts) Na Chaluai, Phon Sawan, and Non Sombun were split off from Det Udom district.[1] The sub-district was later upgraded to a full district on 12 April 1977.[2]

More than 80 percent of Na Chaluai's people moved there from other districts. This area was a battle field of Communist Party of Thailand and the Royal Thai Army during the time of Vietnam War.^{[citation needed]}

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Nam Yuen, Det Udom, Buntharik and the Laotian province of Champasak.

Phu Chong-Na Yoi National Park is in the district. The important water resource is the Dom Yai river.

Administration

The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 68 villages (mubans). Na Chaluai is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Na Chaluai. There are a further six tambon administrative organizations.
