==History== Originally, Lak Song was a part of ''[[amphoe]]'' (district) [[Nong Khaem District|Nong Khaem]], a westernmost of Bangkok. Until 1998, the [[Ministry of Interior (Thailand)|Ministry of Interior]] has merged certain areas of Nong Khaem and [[Phasi Charoen]] with Bang Khae, which is a newly established district. Since then Lak Song therefore became part of Bang Khae completely.
Its name "Lak Song" meaning "the second [[milestone]]", refers to the second milestone of [[Khlong Phasi Charoen]], a [[khlong|canal]] that flows through the area. It is a canal dug during King [[Mongkut]] (Rama IV)'s reign linking Bangkok to [[Amphoe Krathum Baen|Krathum Baen]] of [[Samut Sakhon province]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thairath.co.th/news/local/1607648|work=[[Thai Rath]]|date=2019-07-06|accessdate=2019-09-20|language=thai|title=คลองเปรมฯถนนการค้า ที่มาเขตหลักสี่...หลักหก|trans-title=Khlong Prem the trade road origin of Lak Si district...Lak Hok}}</ref>
