**Suan Luang** ([Thai](/source/Thai_language): สวนหลวง, pronounced [\[sǔan lǔaŋ\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Thai)) is one of the [50 districts](/source/Districts_of_Bangkok) (*khet*) of [Bangkok](/source/Bangkok), [Thailand](/source/Thailand). It is bounded by other Bangkok districts (from north clockwise): [Bang Kapi](/source/Bang_Kapi_district), [Saphan Sung](/source/Saphan_Sung_district), [Prawet](/source/Prawet_district), [Phra Khanong](/source/Phra_Khanong_district), and [Watthana](/source/Watthana_district).

## History

Suan Luang was a sub-district of Phra Khanong District. When Phra Khanong district was split into smaller districts on 9 November 1989, Suan Luang became part of the new Prawet District. On 14 January 1994 (following its announcement on 8 October 1993) Suan Luang was elevated to a district, merging the area once belonging to Suan Luang Sub-district with additional land from Prawet and Khlong Toei. Suan Luang Sub-district remained the only sub-district until 2017, when the two new sub-districts of On Nut and Phatthanakan were created.[2]

Its name literally translates to "royal garden," named after a sub-district in the area that once existed during the early [Rattanakosin era](/source/Rattanakosin_era) (18th century).[3]

## Administration

The district has three sub-districts (*[khwaeng](/source/Khwaeng)*).
