Song Phi Nong District


Song Phi Nong District is the southernmost district 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.
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.

Geography
