Bang Yai (Thai: บางใหญ่, pronounced [bāːŋ jàj]) is a district (amphoe) in the western part of Nonthaburi Province, central Thailand.

History[edit] : อำเภอบางใหญ่

The district was created in 1917 as a minor district (king amphoe) by splitting it from the district Bang Kruai and Bang Bua Thong. In 1921 it was elevated to full district status. Originally named Bang Mae Nang, on 19 October 1930 it was renamed “Bang Yai”, the original name of Bang Kruai District.^[1]

Geography[edit] : อำเภอบางใหญ่

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Sai Noi, Bang Bua Thong, Mueang Nonthaburi, Bang Kruai, and Phutthamonthon of Nakhon Pathom Province.

Administration[edit] : อำเภอบางใหญ่

The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 66 villages (muban). There are five townships (thesaban tambon). Bang Muang covers parts of tambon Bang Muang, Bang Len, and Sao Thong Hin; Bang Yai covers parts of tambon Bang Mae Nang, Bang Yai, and Ban Mai; Sao Thong Hin covers most parts of tambon Sao Thong Hin; Bang Len covers most parts of tambon Bang Len; and Ban Bang Muang covers most parts of tambon Bang Muang. There are a further three tambon administrative organizations (TAO) responsible for the non-municipal areas of tambon Bang Mae Nang, Bang Yai and Ban Mai.
