Bang Khun Thian, Administrative district in Bangkok, Thailand.

The district covers an area of 5.789 square kilometers in the southernmost part of Bangkok, extending to the coastline of Bangkok Bay.

Established in 1867 as an amphoe of Thonburi, Bang Khun Thian transformed into a Bangkok district during the 1972 administrative restructuring.

The district maintains seven temples, including Wat Bang Kradi, which holds strong connections to the Thai Mon community residing in the area.

CentralPlaza Rama II functions as the primary retail center, while Kanchanaphisek Road and Motorway 9 provide essential transportation links.

Five kilometers of mangrove-lined coastline support local fishing communities and provide habitat for smooth-coated otters and various crab species.
