Ban Na San

Ban Na San district extends over 839 square kilometers of terrain, with mountains in the east forming part of Tai Rom Yen National Park.

The district underwent several territorial changes in the 1970s when Khian Sa, Wiang Sa, and Ban Na Doem were established as separate administrative regions.

Local farmers maintain agricultural traditions through the yearly rambutan harvest celebration in August, marking a central element of the district's identity.

The district contains eleven sub-districts with 65 villages, offering administrative services through one central town and multiple local organizations.

Ban Na San marks the location where Thailand received its first rambutan trees in 1926, planted by Chinese Malay merchant K. Vong.
