Sai Mai was the name of a muban in tambon Khu Khot, Amphoe Lam Luk Ka, Pathum Thani Province. It was transferred to Amphoe Bang Khen and promoted to a subdistrict (tambon) in 1940. Due to the growth of population in the area, Sai Mai was elevated to a district effective 21 November 1997 to improve the service and administration.[1]
The district is sub-divided into three sub-districts (Khwaeng).
