Sawaeng Ha ( _th. แสวงหา) is the northernmost district ("Amphoe") of Ang Thong Province, central Thailand.

Sawaeng Ha in Thai language means "seek" or "find".

History

The name of Tambon Sawaeng Ha was first found in the Ayutthaya kingdom records.

In 1945 Tambon Si Bua Thong area was still a rural area covered by deep forest between the two provinces Suphanburi and Sing Buri. This made it a popular hiding place for criminals. The government thus set up a commando division in Tambon Sawaeng Ha to sweep them. In 1948 the government upgraded the area to a minor district ("King Amphoe").

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Khai Bang Rachan and Tha Chang of Sing Buri Province, Pho Thong of Ang Thong province, and Si Prachan, Sam Chuk and Doem Bang Nang Buat of Suphanburi Province.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts ("tambon"). Sawaeng Ha is also a township ("thesaban tambon") which covers parts of the "tambon" Sawaeng Ha.
