Kho Wang (Thai: ค้อวัง, pronounced [kʰɔ́ː wāŋ]) is a district in the south of Yasothon province in northeastern Thailand.

## History

[edit]

Kho Wang was once called Non Kho village, but a monk named Wang from Kanthararom district in Sisaket province came to live and teach in the area. The monk so inspired faith in the people of the region that many moved to the village, and the villagers changed the name of the village to Kho Wang in honor of the monk.
