Bang Sai (Thai: บางไทร, in Thai pronounced as /bāːŋ sāj/) is a district (amphoe) in the southern part of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province, central Thailand. There is another district of Ayutthaya which shares the same romanization Bang Sai, but has a different spelling in Thai.

History

The district dates back to khwaeng Sena Noi, which became an amphoe in 1898. It was renamed Ratchakhram in 1923 as the name of central tambon. In 1925 the district office was relocated to tambon Bang Sai, which became the name of the district in 1939.[1]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Bang Ban, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Bang Pa-in of Ayutthaya Province, Sam Khok of Pathum Thani province, and Lat Bua Luang and Sena of Ayutthaya again.

The main water sources are Chao Phraya and Noi Rivers. The topography of Bang Sai is a lowland area, so it experiences flooding almost every year.

Administration

The district is divided into 23 sub-districts (tambons).
