History
Sai Mai was the name of a muban (village) in tambon (sub-district) Khu Khot, Lam Luk Ka District, Pathum Thani Province. It was transferred to Bang Khen district and promoted to subdistrict (tambon) in 1940. Due to the growth of population in the area, Sai Mai was elevated to district status effective 21 November 1997 to improve service and administration.
The name of the village, "Sai Mai" (which can be interpreted as "late or not?"), is believed to have come from a common question in the past. Because the area was once so far from downtown, people often asked, "Will we be late getting here ?" The name has no connection to the sweet snack roti sai mai.
The dominant feature of the district is Khlong (canal) Lat Phrao. The canal is thought to have been dug in the early period of the Rattanakosin Kingdom (1782–1932). Khlong Lat Phrao is one of nine canals in Bangkok that drains rainwater flowing into the city from northern Thailand, but it has been neglected for decades and clogged with refuse. In January 2016, 1.6 billion baht was allocated to rehabilitate the canal, widen it to 38 metres and deepen it to four metres. Construction is to be completed by June 2019.
