Kumphawapi, Administrative district in Udon Thani Province, Thailand

The district spreads across 672 square kilometers of northeastern Thailand, featuring wetlands, rural communities, and agricultural landscapes at 174 meters above sea level.

Mueang Kumphawapi began as one of four original subdivisions of Udon Thani, transforming into an official district during Thailand's administrative reforms of 1908.

The district's Sanskrit-derived name combines 'Kumpha' meaning water pitcher and 'Wapi' meaning pond, reflecting the region's connection to water resources.

Kumphawapi contains 13 sub-districts with 176 villages, served by postal codes 41110 and 41370, connected through the northeastern railway line.

The Nong Han Kumphawapi Lake forms one of northeast Thailand's largest natural wetlands, supporting local ecosystems and communities.
