Ban Dung

Ban Dung is an administrative district in northeastern Thailand covering thirteen subdistricts across a wide area. The Songkhram River marks its eastern boundary with neighboring provinces.

The area was created as a separate entity in 1959 and gained full district status in 1963 through administrative restructuring. These changes were part of broader regional governance reforms.

Communities here practice traditional salt harvesting methods that have been passed down through generations. This work shapes both daily life and the local economy.

A central bus station links the district to major cities in the region. For local travel, three-wheeled motor taxis are the main way to get around.

A radio relay station was built here in 1994 and still broadcasts signals across vast distances today. This facility stands as an unexpected technology hub in this largely rural landscape.
