Ban Khrua (Thai: บ้านครัว, pronounced [bâːn kʰrūa̯]) is a tambon (subdistrict) of Ban Mo district, Saraburi province.
History and toponymy
The name Ban Khura literally translates as "hamlet of households," referring to a settlement for Lao Wiang people from present-day Vientiane, who immigrated with their entire families. It is not related to Ban Khrua in Bangkok, although the two names share a similar-sounding root.[2]
Ban Khrua and its surrounding areas have, however, been inhabited since prehistoric times and served as a metal-smelting site during the Dvaravati period, part of the Lavo Kingdom, around 2,000 years ago.[2]
Historically, Ban Khura was the birthplace and residence of Nai Chan (also known as I Chan), the half-brother of Khun Worawongsathirat (birth name Bun Si). When Khun Worawongsathirat became the usurper king of Ayutthaya in 1548, he appointed Nai Chan as Upparat (viceroy). The Ayutthaya chronicles refer to him as Nai Chan of Ban Maha Lok; he was a swordsmith by profession. At that time, Ban Khrua was known as Ban Maha Lok (บ้านมหาโลก, pronounced [bâːn mā.hǎː lôːk]), with Wat Maha Lok as its center, a temple that still exists today.[2]
It is also believed that Ban Khura may have been the native land of Khun Worawongsathirat, who was once a royal Brahmin, and served as the place where his armed troops were gathered, later playing an important role in his rise to power.[2]
Khun Worawongsathirat and Nai Chan, together with Lady Sisudachan, were believed to be descendants of the Uthong dynasty, which had previously ruled Ayutthaya before being succeeded by the Suphanaphum dynasty. They therefore conspired to reclaim the throne from the Suphanaphum king.
Geography
The terrain is a lowland with the Pa Sak river crossing through it. Ban Khrua is approximately 6 km (3.7 mi) east of Ban Mo downtown and 25 km (15.5 mi) from Saraburi city. Ban Khrua has a total area of 11.83 km2.[1]
Administration
The subdistrict is under the administration of Tha Lan Subdistrict Municipality.
It is also divided into 25 administrative mubans (villages).[1]
