Ban Khlong (Template:Lang-th) is a subdistrict in the Mueang Phitsanulok District of Phitsanulok Province, Thailand. In 2019 it had a population of 13,560 and 6,184 households.[1] In this subdistrict is King Naresuan Maharat camp (4th Infantry Division).
Geography
The topography of Ban Khlong is fertile lowlands with an area of 8.1 km2.[2] The subdistrict is bordered to the north-west by Phlai Chumphon subdistrict, to the east by Hua Ro subdistrict and the city of Phitsanulok, to the south by Wat Chan subdistrict. Ban Khlong subdistrict lies in the Nan Basin, which is part of the Chao Phraya Watershed. The Nan river flows east of Moo1, Moo2 and Moo3 of the subdistrict and is a natural water source for agricultural consumption. An irrigation canal (Huai Nong Khlong Bueng) flows from Phlai Chumphon subdistrict, through Moo5 of Ban Khlong subdistrict to Wat Chan subdistrict and is an important water source for agricultural consumption and also a raw water source to produce village water supply. The western area of this irrigation canal is for agriculture and the eastern area of this irrigation canal is for urbanization.[3]
History
The history of Ban Khlong has a legend that says Wang Chan is the residence of King Naresuan. Because the Ayutthaya period was very tumultuous, the military service placed a fence around it and called it King Naresuan the Great camp. Many skeletons have been discovered during excavations for the hospital building. This place seems to have been a burial ground for soldiers.[4] In 1996 Ban Khlong Subdistrict Administrative Organization - SAO (ongkan borihan suan tambon) was established. On 9 March 1999 Ban Khlong subdistrict lost the communities Ban Khlong Phatthana and Ban Khlong Samakkhee (Moo4) and community Sa Song Hong (Moo1) to the growing city of Phitsanulok. The new borders are located 200 meter west of the regional highway 117 (landmarks 20-21) and with the military camp (landmarks 1-2).[5] Upgrade to subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon) was on 15 August 2012.
