Bang Ban district
# Bang Ban district

Bang Ban (Thai: บางบาล, pronounced) is a district (amphoe) of Ayutthaya province, in central Thailand.

## History

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.

## Geography
