Ban Lueam (Thai: บ้านเหลื่อม) is a district (amphoe) in the northern part of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeastern Thailand.
Etymology
The name Lueam comes from the Ma Lueam tree (Canarium subulatum Guill.). In the past, a big tree of this kind was the landmark of the village.
History
Tambon Ban Lueam, Wang Pho and Khok Krabueang were separated from Khong district to create a minor district (King Amphoe) on October 18, 1976.[1] It was officially upgraded to a full district on January 1, 1988.[2]
Geography
