Originally a prosperous town of the Srisutthanakhonhut Kingdom (Laos)
900 years ago, its official name was ‘Nong Bua Lamphu –
Nakhon Kuan Kun Kab Kaew Bua Ban’, meaning ‘the town
of plentiful water with blooming lotus flowers’. Most of Nong
Bua Lamphu is situated on a plateau and the province has large forested
areas. It was formerly a district under Udon Thani Province until
it became its own province on December 1, 1993, making it the 76th
province of Thailand.
