Pha Khao (Thai: ผาขาว; IPA: [pʰǎː kʰǎːw]) is a district (amphoe) of Loei Province, northeastern Thailand.

Geography

The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 1 January 1988, when the four tambons, Pha Khao, Tha Chang Khlong, Non Po Daeng, and Non Pa Sang, were split off from Phu Kradueng.^[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 3 November 1993.^[2]

The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 64 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas. There are five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
