Bang Sai ( _th. บางไทร) is a district ("Amphoe") in the southern part of 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 goes back to the "khwaeng" Sena Noi, which was converted into an "amphoe" in 1898. It was renamed to 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.
