Bangbontai Sub District

DISTRICT: Bang Bon

POSTCODE: 10150

Bang Bon Tai is a sub-district of Bang Bon, and it can be found in the extreme south west from the centre of Bangkok.

Bang Bon was formerly a tambon of Amphoe Bang Khun in Thonburi Province, this was before the merger of Thonburi and Phra Nakhon into one single province. Bang Bon became its own district in 1997.

Bang Bon Tai due to its location is too far out from Bangkok to be serviced by the MRT or BTS, but there are regular bus services that do connect it with the center of Bangkok.

Bang Bon Tai is very much a sleepy suburban area frequented by locals going about in their day to day life, very few tourists ever visit. The shops are mostly convenience stores or local businesses serving the community. Traders such as JJ Glass, The Market Place, JPK Garment Co, and Vivat Trading can be found around Soi Ekkachai.

There is a nearby car auction which at weekends bursts into life with the hurry and scurry of motor trading, and the sound of the auctioneer’s gavel.

The housing in Bang Bon Tai is a mixture of townhouses and typical Thai houses. There are a few small housing estates dotted around but nothing of great note. Not many people use this area as a commuter belt into Bangkok because of the transportation network
