Na Klang (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a district (amphoe) of Nong Bua Lamphu province, northeastern Thailand.
History
The district was created as a minor district (king amphoe) on 16 July 1965, when the three tambons Na Klang, Kao Kloi, and Na Si were split from Nong Bua Lamphu District.[1] It was upgraded to a full district in 1969.[2]
On 6 October 2022, a former police officer killed 36 people, including 24 children, and injured 10 others in a combined shooting and stabbing spree before committing suicide. The attack mainly manifested at a children's daycare and this event is currently the deadliest mass murder to have taken place in Thailand's history.[3][4]
