Bo Phloi (Thai: บ่อพลอย, pronounced [bɔ̀ː pʰlɔ̄ːj]) is a district (amphoe) of Kanchanaburi province, central Thailand.

History

The minor district (king amphoe) Bo Phloi was created by splitting off some parts of Mueang Kanchanaburi district. It was upgraded to a full district on 16 July 1963.[2]

Geography

The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 77 villages (mubans). There are two townships (thesaban tambons) within the district. Nong Ri covers parts of tambon Nong Ri, and Bo Phloi covers parts of tambons Bo Phloi and Chong Dan. There are a further six tambon administrative organizations.
