History


At first, the central tambon was Tambon Ta Sang. In 1910, the government moved the district office to the west bank of the Ping River in Tambon Tha Ngiew area and officially upgraded the district at the same time.


The name Banphot Phisai comes from the mountains in the district that look likes rows of prang.

Administration


The district is divided into 13 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 117 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Banphot Phisai covers parts of the tambon Tha Ngio and Charoen Phon. There are further 13 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
