Huai Phueng (Thai: ห้วยผึ้ง, in Thai pronounced as /hûaj pʰɯ̂ŋ/; ห้วยเผิ้ง, in Lao pronounced as /hùaj pʰɤ̀ŋ/) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Kalasin province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise): Na Khu, Kuchinarai, Na Mon, and Somdet of Kalasin Province, and Phu Phan of Sakon Nakhon province.
On 5 May 1981 the minor district (king amphoe) Huai Phueng was created by splitting off the three tambons Nikhom Huai Phueng, Kham Bong, and Khai Nun from Khao Wong district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 21 May 1990.[2]
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 52 villages (mubans). Huai Phueng is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Nikhom Huai Phueng. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
