Phayuha Khiri (, ) is a district (amphoe) in Nakhon Sawan province, central Thailand.
History Phayuha Khiri is an ancient city. It was at the midpoint of two larger cities, Phra Bang (today Nakhon Sawan) and Chainat Buri (today Chai Nat), along the standard military route used by troops of Sukhothai and Ayutthaya.
Recently the district office was relocated to Tambon Sa Thale.
Its name "Phayuha Khiri" meaning "procession of the mountains", since the area consists of many small and large hills. Some hills are beautiful and are home to both temples and Buddha statues on the top.
