Bang Ban (Thai: บางบาล, pronounced [bāːŋ bāːn]) is a district (amphoe) of Ayutthaya province, in central Thailand.
History
[edit]The district was originally created in 1894 as Sena Nai District, with its district office in Sai Noi Sub-district. Later Mr Khiao Bangban (นายเขียว บางบาล) donated a piece of land for the building of the new district office in Bang Ban Sub-district. So the government agreed to change the district name to the donor's family name, which became effective in 1917.[1]
