Nong Khayang ( _th. หนองขาหย่าง) is a district ("Amphoe") of Uthai Thani Province, northern Thailand.

Khayang (ขาหยั่ง) is a local instrument for irrigation.

History

Nong Luang (หนองหลวง) was an important border checkpoint since the Ayutthaya era. In 1917 when the government changed the district status "Khwaeng" to "Amphoe" like in other provinces, Nong Luang was a district of Uthai Thani Province. The following year the district office of Nong Luang was moved to Noen Po and the district renamed to Nong Khayang.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Nong Chang, Thap Than, Mueang Uthai Thani of Uthai Thani Province, Wat Sing and Nong Mamong of Chainat Province.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 9 subdistricts ("tambon"), which are further subdivided into 53 villages ("muban"). Nong Khayang is a township ("thesaban tambon") which covers parts of "tambon" Nong Khayang. There are further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
