Nong Bua (pronounced as /th/) is a district (amphoe) in the northeastern part of Nakhon Sawan province, central Thailand. This place can be considered as the heart of Nong Bua Lamphu Province. Only the name of the province can depict the image of it as the city of swamps (Nong). Swamps are the province's symbolic place which absolutely has fascinating scenery. Only the name of the province can make everyone imagine what the province looks like. [1]
