It is in the northeast of the province.[1] GeographyNeighbouring districts are (from the north clockwise) Tha Muang and Tha Maka of Kanchanaburi Province, Kamphaeng Saen and Mueang Nakhon Pathom of Nakhon Pathom Province, and Photharam of Ratchaburi Province. Ban Pong District is hilly in the western part of the district, while the eastern part is a flood plain with the Mae Klong River running through the city centre, connecting the city to the Gulf of Thailand. History{{see also|Ban Pong (town)}}The Mon people settled in the Ban Pong area about four centuries ago. The Mon communities have maintained some of their traditions and have built their own Buddhist temples.[2] Later the town attracted numerous Chinese immigrants. Also many Lao Wiang communities settled in the Nong Kop subdistrict of rural Ban Pong.[3] During the Japanese-directed construction of the Burma Railway in World War II Ban Pong was the site of one of the Japanese POW camps, Nong Pladuk, where numerous British and Allied troops were held.[4] Two great fires occurred in Ban Pong, razing the town centre: one in 1936 and the other in 1954. The town was rebuilt in the square-grid design then fashionable, with a fountain to the south and a clock tower to the north. EconomyBan Pong is a railway hub, where the western railway leading to Kanchanaburi (and further to Nam Tok) splits from the southern railway leading to Singapore. Another branch connects with the town Suphanburi to the north. As a result of high investment and fast economic development in the past decades, the town stands as one with the highest GDP per capita in western Thailand, well above national average. It is also experiencing de-industrialisation of labour-intensive industries such as canning and sugar refining. There is a large abandoned canning factory in Ban Pong town. The town is now experiencing a boom in more highly skilled industries such as auto parts, petrochemical, and food industries, with more than 70 percent of Thai buses and coaches manufactured in Ban Pong. The biggest paper making complex in Thailand lies north of the town. As of June 2014, the National Statistics Bureau reported Ban Pong's annual GDP per capita (nominal) at US$9,623 and its annual GDP per capita (PPP) at US$24,000 compared with Thailand's US$5,675 and US$14,136 respectively.{{CN|date=August 2016}} SightsWest of the town Ban Pong is Wat Muang, a centre of the Mon community.[5] There is also a large Roman Catholic church building and a large Buddhist temple. AdministrationThe district is divided into 15 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 182 villages (mubans). Ban Pong itself is a town (thesaban mueang) which encompasses tambon Ban Pong. Another town in the district is Tha Pha ({{lang-th|เทศบาลเมืองท่าผา}}) whose administrative area covers the entire subdistrict Tha Pha and parts of Pak Raet. There are a further four townships (thesaban tambons) including: 1.Krachap ({{lang-th|เทศบาลตำบลกระจับ}}) covers parts of Nong O and Don Krabueang 2.Huai Krabok ({{lang-th|เทศบาลตำบลห้วยกระบอก}}) covers parts of Krap Yai 3.Krap Yai ({{lang-th|เทศบาลตำบลกรับใหญ่}}) 4. Boek Phrai ({{lang-th|เทศบาลตำบลเบิกไพร}}) and 14 other tambon administrative organizations (TAO) responsible for the non-municipal areas.
