Ban Fang (Thai: บ้านฝาง, in Thai pronounced as /bâːn fǎːŋ/) is a district (amphoe) of Khon Kaen province, northeastern Thailand.
The minor district (king amphoe) Ban Fang was established on 1 May 1975 by splitting off four tambons: Nong Bua, Pa Wai Nang, Ban Lao, and Non Khong from Mueang Khon Kaen district.[1] On 25 March 1979 it was upgraded to a full district.[2] [3]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Ubolratana, Mueang Khon Kaen, Phra Yuen, Mancha Khiri, and Nong Ruea.
The district is divided into seven sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 74 villages (mubans). The township (thesaban tambon) Ban Fang covers parts of tambon Ban Fang. There are a further seven tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
