Pueai Noi (Thai: เปือยน้อย, in Thai pronounced as /pɯ̄aj nɔ́ːj/; เปือยน้อย, in Lao pronounced as /pɯ̄aj nôːj/) is a district (Amphoe) in the southwestern part of Khon Kaen province, northeastern Thailand.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise): Nong Song Hong and Ban Phai of Khon Kaen Province; and Kut Rang and Na Chueak of Maha Sarakham Province.

History

The minor district (king amphoe) Phueai Noi was established on 17 January 1977, with the two tambons Phueai Noi and Wang Muang from Ban Phai district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 4 July 1994.[2]

Administration

The district is divided into four subdistricts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 32 villages (mubans). Pueai Noi is a subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambons Phueai Noi and Sa Kaeo, and Sa Kaeo a subdistrict municipality which covers the remaining areas of the two subdistricts. There are two tambon administrative organizations (TAO), one for each of the remaining subdistricts.
