Non Thai ( _th. โนนไทย) is a district ("Amphoe") of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeastern Thailand.

History

Originally, the area was "Khwaeng" San Thia (แขวงสันเทียะ). San Thia is Khmer language, meaning a place to fulfill salt. The name refers to the tradition of salt manufacturing in that area.

In 1900, "Khwaeng" San Thia was changed to an "Amphoe" and renamed to Non Lao. However already in the following year it was named back to San Thia. In 1919, the district name was changed to be Non Lao again. Finally in the phase of Thai nationalism under Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, the district name was changed to be Non Thai in 1941 to remove the reference to the Lao population in the name.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Phra Thong Kham, Kham Sakaesaeng, Non Sung, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima, Kham Thale So and Dan Khun Thot.

Administration

The district in subdivided into 10 subdistricts ("tambon"). There are three subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon) - Non Thai covering part of "tambon" Non Thai, Khok Sawai covering part of "tambon" Sai O, and Banlang covers the whole part of same-named "tambon".

Missing numbers are "tambon" which now form Phra Thong Kham district.
