Nong Bua

Nong Bua is an administrative district in northeastern Nakhon Sawan province, covering a flat landscape filled with water bodies and wetland areas. The district is divided into several smaller administrative units and contains numerous villages spread throughout its territory.

The area was first established as a minor administrative zone in 1948 and became a full district in 1956 following a separation from neighboring areas. This change was part of Thailand's wider administrative reorganization during the post-war period.

The name comes from the Thai word for wetlands, reflecting the water-filled landscapes that shape the area. These marshes remain a defining feature of daily life, influencing how locals use the land and what grows here.

The district is accessible by local roads connecting its various villages and administrative center. Visitors will find a typical rural infrastructure setup, with the main administrative offices in Tambon Nong Bua as the central hub.

The area is home to Rajabhat University Nakhon Sawan, a major educational institution serving the central region. This university draws students from across the wider area and plays a role in academic development for the region.
