Mueang Pathum Thani

Mueang Pathum Thani spans 120 square kilometers with fourteen sub-districts and encompasses 81 villages across its diverse geographical landscape near Bangkok.

The district, formerly known as Bang Kadi, underwent a significant administrative change in 1938 when it received its current name under King Rama VIII's decree.

The district maintains traditional Thai municipal governance through twelve tambon administrative organizations that manage local affairs and community development programs.

The district connects to Bangkok through public transportation networks, including the MRT system, and provides access to Don Mueang International Airport.

The district office relocated from the eastern bank to the western bank of the Chao Phraya River in 1917, establishing Bang Prok as its administrative center.
