Tao Ngoi, Administrative district in Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand
Tao Ngoi district extends across 328 square kilometers with four sub-districts containing 32 villages in northeastern Thailand's Sakon Nakhon Province.
The district received its current administrative status on July 19, 1991, after being separated from Mueang Sakon Nakhon district as a minor district in 1978.
The district's name originates from the Isan language, meaning floating turtle, referencing the abundance of turtles in the Pung River during early settlements.
The district houses a major tomato processing facility that sources between 18,000 and 25,000 tonnes of produce annually from local farmers.
A large turtle statue named Phaya Tao Ngoi stands in the park behind the district office, representing the area's historical connection to these aquatic creatures.
