Lao Khwan

Lao Khwan district spans across 831 square kilometers of land, containing 82 villages distributed among seven sub-districts in northeastern Kanchanaburi province.

The district gained its official status on October 1, 1971, when authorities separated it from Phanom Thuan district before upgrading it to full district status in 1976.

The district maintains traditional Thai agricultural practices with extensive rice and cassava cultivation fields spread throughout its seven administrative subdivisions.

The district operates under administrative code 7110 with postal code 71210, connecting to neighboring districts through a network of local roads and transportation systems.

Ban Nong Pradu, one of the villages within the district, gained recognition as the filming location for scenes in the martial arts film Ong-Bak.
