Bua Yai, Administrative district in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.

The district spans across 505 square kilometers of land, containing ten sub-districts and maintaining an elevation of 170 meters above sea level.

Originally established as Dan Nok frontier town, the district underwent administrative changes in 1868 before relocating its center to Ban Bua Yai in 1905.

The district name translates to 'big lotus' in Thai language, reflecting the regional appreciation for this sacred flower in local traditions.

The district office operates from Ban Fat Fueay, serving residents across multiple sub-districts including Huai Yang, Sema Yai, and Don Tanin.

The construction of the railway junction three kilometers from Ban Bua Yai transformed this agricultural region into a transportation center.
