Khai Bang Rachan (Thai: ค่ายบางระจัน) is a district (Amphoe) of Singburi province, central Thailand.
[edit] History
In 1966 the government renovated Khai Bang Rachan (Camp Bang Rachan). They agreed to establish a new district to commemorate the battle at Bang Rachan and to encourage the people of Bang Rachan. The area was thus separated from Bang Rachan district and became a minor district (King Amphoe) in 1972. It was officially upgraded to a full district in 1976.
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Bang Rachan, Mueang Sing Buri and Tha Chang of Singburi Province, Sawaeng Ha of Ang Thong Province, and Doem Bang Nang Buat of Suphanburi Province.
