Mueang Kanchanaburi

Mueang Kanchanaburi is an administrative district in Kanchanaburi Province located where the Khwae Noi and Khwae Yai Rivers meet to form the Mae Klong River. The district spans thirteen sub-districts and ninety-nine villages that together serve as the provincial administrative hub.

The district underwent a significant administrative transformation in 1954 when its administrative seat relocated from Tambon Ban Nuea to Tambon Pak Phraek. This shift marked an important turning point in the region's administrative development.

The district maintains multiple township areas including Kaeng Sian, Nong Bua, and Talat Ya, each preserving traditional Thai community structures and local governance.

The area functions as the provincial administrative center with essential government facilities and transportation links to neighboring regions. Visitors will find all necessary services and good connections to surrounding areas here.

The area contains Phu Nam Ron, a border crossing to Myanmar that positions the region for future economic growth through cross-border trade. This location makes it a key point for regional development and exchange.
