Ban Mi (Thai: บ้านหมี่, pronounced [bâËn mìË]) is a district (amphoe) in the western part Lopburi Province, central Thailand.
History
The district was created in 1883, then named Sanam Chaeng. When the district office was moved to Ban Huai Kaeo, the district name was changed to Huai Kaeo as well. When in 1898 the Thai Government built the Northern Railway through the district, the district center was moved to Ban Sao (Thai บ้านเซ่า) and the district name was changed back to Sanam Chaeng. In 1917 it was renamed to Ban Sao as the name of Tambon of the district center.[1] Finally the Thai Government changed the name to Ban Mi in 1939.[2]
The name Ban Mi is the name of an old town of Phuan people that migrated from Laos to Siam around 1870. The name originates from a hand weaving method to weave cotton or silk fabric, named Mat Mi (มัดหมี่) in Thai.
Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the northeast clockwise) Nong Muang, Khok Samrong, Mueang Lop Buri, Tha Wung of Lopburi, In Buri of Singburi Province, and Takhli of Nakhon Sawan Province.
The water resources of Ban Mi are the Bang Kham River and Khlong Anusasanan.

Climate is dominated in all months by the subtropical anticyclon, or subtropical high, with its descending air, elevated inversions, and clear skies. Such an atmospheric environment inhibits precipitation. The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Bwh". (Tropical and Subtropical Desert Climate).
