Bang Ban (Thai: บางบาล; IPA: [bāːŋ bāːn]) is a district (Amphoe) of Ayutthaya Province, in central Thailand.
History

Later Mr. Khiao Bangban (นายเขียว บางบาล) donated a piece of land for the building of the new district office in Bang Ban subdistrict. So the government agreed to change the district name to be Bang Ban as the donator's family name, which became effective in 1917.[1]
