Nam Yuen, Administrative district in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand
Nam Yuen spans across the southernmost part of Ubon Ratchathani province, containing seven sub-districts and ninety-two villages near the borders of Laos and Cambodia.
The district emerged in 1969 when four tambons separated from Det Udom, receiving full district status in 1974 as a strategic point between Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia.
Local ceremonies take place at Narai Banthomsin, an ancient stone carving visible during low tide, where people gather to collect water considered sacred for healing purposes.
The Thailand Mines Action Centre continues work to clear remaining minefields from the 1980s conflicts, with 43.4 square kilometers already cleared by 2020.
The district name Nam Yuen translates to long-lasting water, referencing the three rivers Bon, Chong, and Ta Em that flow through the territory.
