Ban Phaeo

Ban Phaeo is an administrative district in Samut Sakhon comprising twelve subdistricts including Lak Sam, Yokkrabat, and Rong Khe across a low-lying agricultural area. The territory features flat, fertile plains dominated by farmland and water channels.

The district evolved from a traditional agricultural region where farmers developed extensive rice fields and orchards across the fertile plains over many generations. This farming heritage remains central to the area's character and economy.

Local markets here display fresh produce from surrounding farms, where residents practice traditional Thai farming methods that define daily life. These customs shape how people work and connect with the land.

The district connects to Bangkok through regional transportation networks with regular bus services to neighboring provincial centers. Visitors should expect hot, humid weather and flat terrain that is best explored on foot or by motorbike.

The district maintains specialized floating agriculture systems where farmers grow vegetables and fruits directly on water channels crossing the area. This ingenious method allows growers to adapt to the region's seasonal flooding while producing food year-round.
