History
Bang Sue was one of eight outer Bangkok amphoes (districts) established during King Chulalongkorn's reign.
In an administrative reform in 1938, Bang Sue was reduced from an amphoe to a tambon (sub-district), becoming part of Dusit district. In 1972, as part of the creation of a special administrative area of Bangkok where tambons in Bangkok were renamed khwaengs and amphoes in Bangkok were renamed khets, Bang Sue became Khwaeng Bang Sue under Khet Dusit. Bang Sue became a khet in 1989.
"Bang Sue" means "community of the faithful". The name appears in Journey to Phrabat, a poem by Sunthorn Phu written in 1807.
According to regional folklore, the name originates from the "Story of Lord Uthong". When someone asked about the hidden treasure of Lord Uthong (a mythical king, not the King Uthong of Ayutthaya), the locals responded with honesty.
Bang Pho is the historic area along the Chao Phraya River. In the 18th century, corresponding to the early Rattanakosin era, used to be a settlement for Annamese (presently known Vietnamese) immigrants.
