Khai Bang Rachan (Thai: ค่ายบางระจัน, in Thai pronounced as /kʰâːj bāːŋ rā.t͡ɕān/) is a district (amphoe) of Sing Buri province, central Thailand.
In 1966 the government renovated Khai Bang Rachan (Camp Bang Rachan). They agreed to establish a new district to commemorate the battle at Bang Rachan. The area was thus separated from Bang Rachan district and became a minor district (king amphoe) on 1 February 1972, then consisting of five sub-districts.[1] It was upgraded to a full district in 1976.[2] The sixth sub-district, Nong Krathum, was created in 1980.[3]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Bang Rachan, Mueang Sing Buri and Tha Chang of Sing Buri Province, Sawaeng Ha of Ang Thong province, and Doem Bang Nang Buat of Suphanburi province.
Khai Bang Rachan is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 59 administrative villages (mubans).
