Suan Phueng was the rural area of Chom Bueng district. It became a minor district (king amphoe) on 15 November 1974, consisting of the three tambons: Suan Phueng, Pa Waim, and Ban Bueng.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 1 April 1983.[2]
Etymologyedit
The name Suan Phueng (lit. 'bee garden') originates from Phueng trees (Ficus albipila) that are found in the district. In these trees bees (Thai: phueng) often build hives.
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 37 villages (mubans). There are two sub-district municipalities (thesaban tambons) within the district. Suan Phueng covers parts of tambon Suan Phueng, and Ban Chat Pa Wai covers parts of tambons Pa Wai and Tha Khoei.
