Bang Khla (Thai: บางคล้า) is a district (Amphoe) of Chachoengsao Province, central Thailand.
Contents |
Bang Khla district was established in 1901. The district office was located in Wat Mai Bang Khla, nowadays in Tambon Ban Suan. Bang Khla is the name of the village Ban Bang Khla, which is located at the Khlong (canal) Bang Khla. As the district office was not in the center of the district area, the government moved it to Tambon Tao Sura, 5 km from the old location. Later they changed the name of the tambon to Bang Khla to fit with the district name.
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Ratchasan, Plaeng Yao, Ban Pho, Mueang Chachoengsao, Khlong Khuean of Chachoengsao Province and Ban Sang of Prachinburi Province.
The important water resource is the Bang Pakong River.
The district is subdivided into 8 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 56 villages (muban). Bang Khla and Pak Nam are two townships (thesaban tambon), each covering the complete same-named tambon. There are further 8 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
