Bang Rakam district

Bang Rakam (Thai: บางระกำ, pronounced [bāːŋ rā.kām]) is a district (amphoe) in the western part of Phitsanulok province, central Thailand.

The distinction between the basins is blurry in this region, as the terrain is flat, and residents have diverted much of the water flow for agriculture over the years.

The district is divided into 11 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 135 villages (mubans).

Of the numerous villages in Bang Rakam District, those that occupy multiple mubans are as follows: During the rainy season of 2006, 24,400 Bang Rakam residents were affected by flooding, including 1,122 residents who contracted conjunctivitis.
