Nong Muang Khai (Thai: หนองม่วงไข่, in Thai pronounced as /nɔ̌ːŋ mûa̯ŋ kʰàj/) is a district (amphoe) in the central part of Phrae province, northern Thailand.
The minor district (king amphoe) Nong Muang Khai was established on 1 April 1990 from tambons Mae Kham Mi and Nong Muang Khai of Rong Kwang district and Wang Luang and Nam Rat of Song district. It was made a subordinate of Rong Kwang District.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 7 September 1995.[2]
