Nong Khaem

Nong Khaem covers 35 square kilometers and shares borders with Thawi Watthana, Bang Khae, Bang Bon, and provinces of Samut Sakhon and Nakhon Pathom.

Established as Amphoe Nong Khaem in 1902, the district underwent administrative reform in 1972 when it became a khet within the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.

Multiple temples and local markets line Khlong Phasi Charoen canal, which remains central to community life and traditional activities in the district.

The district houses Southeast Asia University, Thonburi University, Muban Kru Technological College, and Vichaivej International Hospital, serving educational and healthcare needs.

Long stretches of canna flowers, planted in 1977 along Phet Kasem Road, mark the district's main thoroughfare with red and yellow blooms.
