Na Muean (Thai: นาหมื่น, in Thai pronounced as /nāː mɯ̀ːn/) is a district (amphoe) in the southern part of Nan province, northern Thailand.

History

The minor district (king amphoe) Na Muean was established on 9 October 1978 as a subordinate of Na Noi district, from which it was split off.[1] [2] Originally it consisted of the three tambons, Na Thanung, Bo Kaeo, and Mueang Li. It was upgraded to a full district on 4 July 1994.[3]
