Bo Kluea (Thai: บ่อเกลือ, in Thai pronounced as /bɔ̀ː klɯ̄a/; บ่อเกลื๋อ, pronounced as /bɔ̀ː kɯ̌a/) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Nan province, northern Thailand.
The minor district (king amphoe) Bo Kluea was established on 5 February 1988 by splitting the two tambons Bo Kluea Nuea and Bo Kluea Tai from Pua district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 7 September 1995.[2]
Neighboring districts are from the south clockwise Mae Charim, Santi Suk, Pua and Chaloem Phra Kiat of Nan Province. To the east is Xaignabouli of Laos.
The district is in the Luang Prabang Range mountain area of the Thai highlands.[3]
The district is known for its ancient salt wells from which salt is produced from the evaporation of brine.[4]
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 39 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
