Bang Pla Ma (Thai: บางปลาม้า, pronounced [bāːŋ plāː máː]) is a district (amphoe) in the southern part of Suphan Buri province, central Thailand.

This type of fish is a famous food that has created a reputation for the province for a long time and is also the provincial aquatic animal.

Its founded by Chinese merchant named Hong or Boonrod Liangwanich in 1934, who survived the robbery at his bustling raft shop-cum-house but his wife was killed.

It is as tall as a six-story building (including the deck) and is considered a highlight and a landmark of this market.

In the past, it used to be a waterfront Thai Chinese community similar to floating market since King Rama V's reign.
