Bang Saphan, Administrative district in Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand
Bang Saphan covers 868 square kilometers along the Gulf of Thailand, featuring seven administrative sub-districts and three townships within its boundaries.
The district traces back to the Ayutthaya Kingdom and received its current name in 1915 when King Vajiravudh removed 'Mueang' from its designation.
Local artisans in Ban Huai Kriab maintain traditions through black-and-white rattan basketry, with a dedicated group of 38 weavers preserving this craft.
The district contains multiple accommodations near the coastline, with optimal visiting conditions occurring between November and February during the cooler months.
Residents in Tambon Ron Thong generate income through gold panning activities in Klong Thong, earning more than traditional agricultural pursuits.
