Bang Khen, Administrative district in northern Bangkok, Thailand
Bang Khen District extends across 42 square kilometers of land, encompassing two subdistricts named Anusawari and Tha Raeng within Bangkok's metropolitan area.
The district originated in 1897 as an amphoe of Phra Nakhon province and became a battleground during the Boworadet rebellion of October 1933.
The Thai Army's 11th Infantry Division maintains a substantial presence in Bang Khen, occupying 480 hectares of land within the district boundaries.
The district office operates from Phahonyothin Road in Anusawari subdistrict, serving a population of 189,539 residents with administrative and community services.
Bang Khen derives its name from Bang Ken, meaning Place of Push, referencing a historical incident involving Lord Uthong's gold tanker in a local canal.
