Nam Yuen ( th, น้ำยืน, ) is the southernmost district ('' amphoe'') of Ubon Ratchathani province, northeastern Thailand. History A group of people from Det Udom moved to Ban Chanla Na Dom of Champassak during the reign of King Mongkut. Later in 1881 the king of Champassak proposed to King Chulalongkorn to upgrade Ban Chanla Na Dom to ''Mueang'' Dom Pradit, under the control of the Champassak Kingdom. When Champask became part of French Indochine, Mueang Dom Pradit was downgraded to be a ''tambon'' of Det Udom district. As the area of Det Udom was very large, the governor of Ubon Ratchathani proposed to the government to establish a minor district (''king amphoe'').
