Sam Khok, District in Pathum Thani, Thailand.
Sam Khok district covers 94 square kilometers along the Chao Phraya River, containing eleven administrative sub-districts with Bang Toei as its capital point.
The district dates back to 1632 during King Prasat Thong's reign, when Mon refugees established settlements after fleeing from Burmese persecution in 1660.
Local pottery production earned Sam Khok recognition in 1726, with three earthen mounds used for making traditional water storage jars giving the district its name.
The district maintains direct transportation connections to Bangkok, located 50 kilometers south, with multiple bus routes serving the local communities throughout the day.
Excavations at Tao Ong Ang revealed ancient kiln structures, confirming the presence of Mon ceramic manufacturing techniques dating back several centuries.
