Nam Phong, Administrative district in Khon Kaen, Thailand

Nam Phong district covers 828.7 square kilometers of land in northeastern Thailand, containing twelve sub-districts and numerous agricultural communities at 188 meters elevation.

The district originated as Tha Wa in 1908 before receiving its current designation in 1909, later hosting a Royal Thai Air Base during the Vietnam War.

The district maintains traditional agricultural practices with rice and sugarcane cultivation, while incorporating modern energy production through its natural gas facilities.

Nam Phong connects to neighboring regions through Mittraphap Road and the Northeastern Railway, offering transportation links to major commercial centers.

Natural gas reserves discovered in 1979 led to the establishment of Nam Phong power plant, which supplies energy to communities across the region.
