Bang Khla District


Bang Khla District is a district of Chachoengsao Province, central Thailand.

History

Bang Khla District was established in 1901. The district office was in Wat Mai Bang Khla, and in 2019 in Ban Suan Subdistrict. Bang Khla is the name of the village Ban Bang Khla, which is on the khlong Bang Khla. As the district office was not in the center of the district area, the government moved it to Tao Sura, five kilometres from the old site. Later they changed the name of the tambon to Bang Khla to match the district name.
