Ban Pong (Thai: บ้านโป่ง, pronounced [bâːn pòːŋ]) is a district (amphoe) of Ratchaburi province, Thailand.

Also many Lao Wiang communities settled in the Nong Kop subdistrict of rural Ban Pong.

The town was rebuilt in the square-grid design then fashionable, with a fountain to the south and a clock tower to the north.

During the Japanese-directed construction of the Burma Railway in World War II Nong Pladuk was the site of one of the Japanese POW camps where numerous British, Dutch and allied troops arrived.

[5] During World War II, 23,289 British, 12,329 Dutch, 4,708 Australian, 482 American, and 7,030 undetermined soldiers passed through Camp Nong Pladuk.

[6][7][8] 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.

[citation needed] Ban Pong is also the centre of a large pet market especially ornamental fish.
