Non Kho (Thai: โนนค้อ) is a tambon (subdistrict) located in the western region of Buntharik district, in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand.[1][2][3] In 2021, it had a population of 7,022 people.[1] Neighbouring subdistricts are (clockwise from the south) Huai Kha, Sok Saeng, Nong Sano, and Bua Ngam.[3][2]
The area was first colonized in the 1840s, with the first village, Ban Non Kho (บ้านโนนค้อ), created by a group of fifteen Laotian families led by Kundet Rittimat (ขุนเดช ฤทธิมาศ), who emigrated from present-day Laos to resettle in the area. They were followed by another group of immigrants from Ban Huai Lok (บ้านห้วยโลก) in Na Chaluai, led by Chai Damrong (ชัย ดำรงค์), and the final group, from Warin Chamrap, in 1957. The community area gradually expanded as the population grew; some areas later became independent villages, such as Ban Non Suan (บ้านโนนสวน), which was broken off from Ban Non Kho in 1991.[3]
Non Kho became the new subdistrict's capital when a tambon (subdistrict) with the same name was created in 1979 by the separation of six villages in the northwest area of Huai Kha subdistrict.[4] After its establishment, it was governed by its subdistrict council until the council was promoted to the Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO) in 1996.[3]
