Bang Phae (Thai: บางแพ) is a district (Amphoe) in the eastern part of Ratchaburi Province, central Thailand.

Contents

The district was created in 1914 from 17 tambon from the districts Ban Pong, Photharam and Damnoen Saduak as a minor district (king amphoe). In 1917 it was upgraded to a full district. At first a temporary district office was located in a pavillon of Wat Hua Pho in tambon Hua Pho. Thus the district was at first named Hua Pho, but was renamed to Bang Phae when the permanent district office was opened in 1918, located within tambon Bang Phae at the eastern short of the Bang Phae canal.

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Damnoen Saduak, Photharam of Ratchaburi Province, Mueang Nakhon Pathom, Sam Phran of Nakhon Pathom Province and Ban Phaeo of Samut Sakhon Province.

The district is subdivided into 7 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 65 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Bang Phae covers the complete tambon Bang Phae and Wang Yen, and Pho Hak the complete tambon Pho Hak. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
