Non Sila (Thai: โนนศิลา, in Thai pronounced as /nōːn sì.lāː/) is a district (amphoe) of Khon Kaen province, northeastern Thailand.
The minor district was established on 15 July 1996 by splitting it from Ban Phai district.[1] [2]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[3] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official.[4]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Ban Phai, Nong Song Hong, Phon, and Chonnabot.
, Thai sugar giant, the Mitr Phol Group, plans to construct a sugarcane mill and biomass power plant in the district. The initiative will occupy 4000lk=inNaNlk=in of three of the province's neighbouring districts: Non Sila, Ban Phai, and Chonnabot. The operation will form part of the Ban Phai Bio-Hub Industrial Estate and is linked to the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) project. Mitr Phol's plans have been met with some opposition from local residents.[5] Mitr Phol has pledged that the factory will have no adverse environmental effects.[6]
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 45 villages (mubans). The township (thesaban tambon) Non Sila covers parts of tambons Non Sila and Ban Han. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO), the non-municipal area of tambon Non Sila is administered by a tambon administration (TA).
