Mueang Bueng Kan, Administrative district in Bueng Kan, Thailand
The district extends along the Mekong River with plains in the west and lowlands rich in water sources in the eastern region.
The district, originally named Chai Buri, transferred from Nakhon Phanom to Nong Khai province in 1917 before becoming capital of Bueng Kan in 2011.
The district name combines Thai words, with Bueng meaning marsh and Kan referring to the Hindu deity Kala or the color black.
The district connects to major cities through air-conditioned buses, with travel times of 3 hours to Udon Thani and 10 hours to Bangkok.
The Fifth Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge construction started in 2020 to link the district with Bolikhamsai province in Laos across the Mekong River.
