Bang Khla district
Bang Khla (Thai: บางคล้า, pronounced [bāːŋ kʰláː]) is a district (amphoe) of Chachoengsao province, central Thailand.
Its history dates back to the late Ayutthaya period. Shortly before Ayutthaya's second fall in 1766, Bang Khla was a place where Phraya Tak (later King Taksin) and his troops passed through and stayed overnight.
During the early Rattanakosin period, before the reign of King Rama III, Bang Khla served as the administrative center of Chachoengsao, until the town was relocated to its present location.
The name "Bang Khla" roughly translates as "place of Khla". Khla is a type of mangrove plant (Calathea) that once grew abundantly along the banks of the Bang Pakong River. In addition, according to independent historian Sujit Wongthes, Bang Khla was formerly informally known as "Rong Khlao" (โรงเหล้า, lit. 'liquor factory') because several breweries were located there.
Bang Khla district was officially established in 1901. The district office was in Wat Mai Bang Khla, and in 2019 in Ban Suan Subdistrict. Bang Khla is the name of the village Ban Bang Khla, which is on the khlong ('canal') Bang Khla. As the district office was not in the center of the district area, the government moved it to Tao Sura, five kilometres from the old site. Later they changed the name of the tambon to Bang Khla to match the district name.
Bang Khla is also known for its mangoes. It is considered the original area for jasmine rice; however, due to changes in administrative boundaries, the area now recognized as the origin of jasmine rice is located in the neighboring Ban Pho district.
Neighbouring districts are (from the east clockwise): Ratchasan, Plaeng Yao, Ban Pho, Mueang Chachoengsao, Khlong Khuean of Chachoengsao Province; and Ban Sang of Prachinburi province.
The important water resource is the Bang Pakong River.
