Bang Phli, Administrative district in Samut Prakan, Thailand

Bang Phli consists of six sub-districts spanning across residential zones, commercial areas, and traditional markets at an elevation of 5 meters above sea level.

The district's origins date back to the Khmer era between 435 and 1158, with many local place names still reflecting this ancient linguistic influence.

The annual Lotus Flower Festival in October features a ceremonial boat carrying the Luang Poh To Buddha statue along Khlong Samrong waterway.

The district houses Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand's main international gateway, and connects to Bangkok through the Bang Na-Chonburi Expressway.

The Bang Phli floating market maintains over 100 wooden shophouses along the canal, continuing a trading tradition between Bangkok and Thailand's east coast.
