Several caves are found in the district. Khao Bin cave is regarded as the most beautiful, having many stalactites and stalagmites and a "holy" pond. The cave is named after a rock formation which looks like a flying bird. Chomphon cave was renamed by King Chulalongkorn during his visit in the area in 1895, due to a stalactite that resembled an epaulette of a field marshal.
History
In 1895 King Chulalongkorn and Queen Saovabha visited Ratchaburi province, including the district. The king saw a large lake there. He then renamed the area big lake or chom bueng, and made it a minor district (king amphoe).
In 1958 Chom Bueng was upgraded to Chom Bueng District.[1]
