Ban Pong ( _th. บ้านโป่ง) is a district ("Amphoe") of Ratchaburi Province, Thailand. It is located in the northeast of the province.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Tha Muang and Tha Maka of Kanchanaburi Province, Kamphaeng Saen and Mueang Nakhon Pathom of Nakhon Pathom Province, and Photharam of Ratchaburi Province.

Economy

Ban Pong is a railway hub, where the western railway leading to Kanchanaburi (and further to Nam Tok) splits from the southern railway leading to Singapore. Another branch connects with the town Suphanburi to the north. During the construction of the Death Railway in World War II Ban Pong was the location of one of the POW camps.

ights

West of the town Ban Pong itself is the temple Wat Muang, which is a local centre of the Mon community.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 15 subdistricts ("tambon"), which are further subdivided into 182 villages ("muban"). Ban Pong itself is a town ("thesaban mueang") which covers the complete "tambon" Ban Phong. There are further three townships ("thesaban tambon") - Tha Pha covers the complete "tambon" Tha Pha and parts of Pak Raet, Krachap covers parts of Nong O and Don Krabueang, and Huai Krabok covers parts of Krap Yai. 14 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO) are responsible for the non-municipal areas.
