Nong Lu

Nong Lu () is a sub-district (''tambon'') of Sangkhla Buri district of Kanchanaburi province, Thailand. The name is Karen and refers to the palm used for roofing. It is located near the border with Myanmar. Nong Lu covers the main town of the district, which is often known by the district's name as Sangkhlaburi (); the municipality (''thesaban tambon'') is officially known as Wangka ().
