**Bang Ramat** ([Thai](/source/Thai_language): บางระมาด, pronounced [\[bāːŋ rā.mâːt\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Thai)) is one of the six *[khwaengs](/source/Khwaeng)* (subdistricts) of [Taling Chan District](/source/Taling_Chan_District) in [Bangkok](/source/Bangkok)'s [Thonburi](/source/Thonburi) area. Bang Ramat has 23 [administrative villages](/source/Muban).[2]

## History

It is named after Khlong Bang Ramat, a waterway that runs through the area. It is a *[khlong](/source/Khlong)* (canal) that separates itself from the [Khlong Chak Phra](/source/Khlong_Chak_Phra), which used to be part of the [Chao Phraya River](/source/Chao_Phraya_River).[3]

The name *Bang Ramat* means 'place of [rhinoceros](/source/Rhinoceros) ['ramat' is a loanword from the [Khmer language](/source/Khmer_language)]. It was mentioned in the *[Kamsuan Samut](/source/Kamsuan_Samut)* or *Kamsuan Siprat*, an ancient text written in the early-[Ayutthaya period](/source/Ayutthaya_period). It shows that Bang Ramat was a long-established community before the establishment of [Rattanakosin](/source/Rattanakosin) or Bangkok.[3]

Originally, Bang Ramat was a *[tambon](/source/Tambon)*, part of Taling Chan District of Thon Buri Province. Governmental administrative regulations were revised in 1985, promoting Bang Ramat to a subdistrict of Taling Chan District.[2]

## Geography

Bang Ramat can be considered as a central part of the district, with a total area of 5,836 [rai](/source/Rai_(unit)) (about 2,306 acres), divided into agricultural areas 1,729 rai (about 683 acres).
