Doem Bang Nang Buat (Thai: เดิมบางนางบวช; IPA: [dɤ̄ːm bāːŋ nāːŋ bùat]) is a district (Amphoe) in the northern part of Suphanburi Province, central Thailand.

History

In the past, Nang Buat district covered a large area. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab and the governor of Suphanburi agreed to separate the northernmost part and then created a new district named Doem Bang on May 16, 1911. They also added two tambons of Hankha district, Chainat Province and two tambons of Bang Rachan district, Sing Buri Province.[1] In 1939 the government changed the district name of Nang Buat district to Sam Chuk, they decided to put the word Nang Buat after Doem Bang, so since that year the district is named Doem Bang Nang Buat.[2]

The present district office is located on Chainat-Suphanburi Road, Tambon Khao Phra since 1995.
