Mueang Nakhon Phanom (Thai: เมืองนครพนม, pronounced [mɯ̄aŋ ná(ʔ).kʰɔ̄ːn pʰā.nōm]; Northeastern Thai: เมืองนครพนม, pronounced [mɯ᷇aŋ nà(ʔ).kʰɔ᷇ːn pʰā.no᷇m]) is the capital district (amphoe mueang) of Nakhon Phanom province, northeastern Thailand.

[2] Khok Phu Kratae and Phai Lom villages in At Samat Subdistrict will be the site of a special economic zone (SEZ).

Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, head of the junta's National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) and prime minister, in May 2015 invoked his authority under Section 44 of the Interim Charter to announce NCPO Order No.

The order mandates turning large areas in Tak, Mukdahan, Nong Khai, Sa Kaeo, and Trat provinces into special economic zones (SEZs), where deregulation of industry and tax cuts are offered to lure investors.

In addition to the pilot SEZ projects in these five provinces, more land in five other provinces, Chiang Rai, Nakhon Phanom, Kanchanaburi, Songkhla, and Narathiwat, are to be expropriated and cleared for SEZs.
