Wang Yang (Thai: วังยาง, in Thai pronounced as /wāŋ jāːŋ/) is a district (amphoe) of Nakhon Phanom province, northeastern Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Pla Pak and Na Kae of Nakhon Phanom Province; Khok Si Suphan and Phon Na Kaeo of Sakon Nakhon province.
The minor district (king amphoe) Wang Yang was established on 1 July 1997, when four tambons were split off from Na Kae district.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]
Wang Yang is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 27 administrative villages (mubans).
