Bang Len

Bang Len is an administrative district in Nakhon Pathom Province located in central Thailand. The area consists of numerous villages connected by waterways and rivers, with widespread agricultural and fishing lands throughout.

The district was established in 1896 under the name Bang Phai Nat and renamed Bang Len in 1939. The administrative center was relocated to its current location in 1978.

The area maintains strong ties to traditional farming and fishing practices, with local markets where residents sell fresh catches and agricultural products. Visitors can observe how waterways serve as natural highways for daily commerce and community gathering.

The terrain is mostly flat and crossed by numerous waterways, which can affect accessibility depending on the season. The dry season offers the easiest access for exploring the district and its villages.

The Wat Lampaya floating market along the Tha Chin River is an active trading place where vendors anchor boats loaded with local goods and foods. This market reveals how daily commerce here depends on water routes rather than roads.
