Song Phi Nong (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".) is the southernmost district (amphoe) of Suphan Buri province, central Thailand.

History

The district was established in 1896. In the past the area of the district included U Thong district. The district office was moved away from the Song Phi Nong canal to the present location in 1964 because the old location was prone to flooding.[1]

Its name Song Phi Nong means 'two siblings'. Presumably it refers to the confluence of two watercourses Tha Wa and Chorakhe Sam Phan before flowing to Tha Chin River. There is also another explanation that is a folk tale about two brothers or two elephants that are siblings.[2]

Geography

Neighbouring districts are (from the north clockwise): U Thong and Bang Pla Ma of Suphan Buri Province; Lat Bua Luang of Ayutthaya province; Bang Len and Kamphaeng Saen of Nakhon Pathom province; and Tha Maka and Phanom Thuan of Kanchanaburi province.

The main water resource of the district is the Tha Chin River or Suphan River.
