Phon Na Kaeo (Thai: โพนนาแก้ว, in Thai pronounced as /pʰōːn nāː kɛ̂ːw/) is a district (amphoe) of Sakon Nakhon province, northeast Thailand.
The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 April 1991, when the four tambons Ban Phon, Na Kaeo, Na Tong Watthana, and Ban Paen were split off from Mueang Sakon Nakhon district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 5 December 1996.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Khok Si Suphan, Mueang Sakon Nakhon and Kusuman of Sakon Nakhon Province, Pla Pak, Huai Phueng and Wang Yang of Nakhon Phanom province.
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 48 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and a further five tambon administrative organizations.
