-------------------------------
Amphoe Bang Bua Thong is a district of Nonthaburi Province in Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from north clockwise) Lat Lum Kaeo (Pathum Thani Province, Pak Kret, Mueang Nonthaburi, Sai Noi and Bang Yai.
Tambon as a subdivision are quite old already. They were the second-level subdivision of the area administrated by a provincial town in the 19th century. The governor of the province was supposed to appoint a commune elder (kamnan or phan). Phan also means 1000, which refers to the fact that a tambon was supposed to have about 1000 abled-bodied men. (Phan can be refer to a military title which is a Tambon governor.)
In the administrative reforms started in 1892 under Prince Damrong Rajanubhab, the first Thai minister of Interior, the three levels of subdivision of provinces were continued, i.e. start from district to tambon to the lowest level call muban. Additionally in 1898 the first sukhaphiban (sanitation districts, ?????????) were created, the sukhaphiban of Bangkok as the first urban and Tha Chalom as the first rural. As the name suggest their prime purpose was to oversee the sanitary development of the areas.
In the Local Administration Act of 2457 (1914) the roles of the subdivisions were first codified into law. Two levels of sukhaphiban were introduced, the sukhaphiban mueang for towns and sukhaphiban tambon for rural areas.
