Bang Lamung

Bang Lamung (Thai: บางละมุง; IPA: [bāːŋ lāmūŋ]) is a district (Amphoe) in the southern part of Chonburi Province, Thailand.

History

Mueang Bang Lamung was formerly located in Ban Bang Lamung, Tambon Bang Lamung. However, the government downgraded Bang Lamung to a district, with the district office located on the banks of Khlong Nok Yang. In 1909, the district head, Phraya Sattaya Nukun (Choem), moved the district office to the seacoast in Tambon Na Kluea (Naklua).

On October 21, 1952 the district office was completely destroyed by a storm. The office set up temporarily in Bang Lamung School, Sukhumvit Road. The following year the Thai government approved building a new district office near the school. It is still in use today.
