History

In 1925 the government split subdistrict (tambon) Rong Khe, Lak Sam from Ban Bo District and merged it with subdistrict Ban Phaeo to form the Ban Phaeo district. The new district was assigned to Samut Sakhon province.

On 25 May 1999 the sanitary district of four subdistricts (Yokkrabat, Rong Khe, Nong Song Hong and Nong Bua) was established as Lak Ha subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon) with an area of 78,481 rai ~ 125.6 square kilometres (48.5 sq mi), the largest municipality in the province.

In early November 2020, an almost perfectly preserved skeleton of a Bryde's whale was discovered in Amphaeng subdistrict in Ban Phaeo district. Carbon dating by a paleobiological lab in the United States dated the skeleton to be about 3,380 years old, when the district was submerged under the sea. The National University of Singapore said that the skeleton added to evidence of significant sea level changes around 6,000 to 3,000 years ago in the Bay of Bangkok.
