Na Khu (th|นาคู, pronounced as /th/) is a district (amphoe) in the eastern part of Kalasin province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise): Khao Wong, Kuchinarai, and Huai Phueng of Kalasin Province; Phu Phan and Tao Ngoi of Sakon Nakhon province; and Dong Luang of Mukdahan province.
The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 April 1995, when it was split off from Khao Wong district.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August, the upgrade became official.[3]
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 54 villages (mubans). Na Khu is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Na Khu. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
