Mueang Suphanburi (Thai: เมืองสุพรรณบุรี) is the capital district (Amphoe Mueang) of Suphanburi Province, central Thailand.
[edit] History
This area was the center of Mueang Suphanburi, called San Khwaeng Suphanburi (ศาลแขวงสุพรรณบุรี). When the government created a district, it was called Wihan Daeng. Later the district name was changed to be Tha Phi Liang. In 1939 the district name was changed to be Mueang Suphanburi to correspong with the province name.
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Bang Pla Ma, U Thong, Don Chedi, Si Prachan of Suphanburi province, Wiset Chai Chan of Ang Thong province and Phak Hai of Ayutthaya Province.
The main water resource of the district is the Tha Chin river or Suphan river.
