🇹🇭 Bang Lamung is a district in the southern part of Chonburi Province, Thailand.
History Mueang Bang Lamung was formerly in Ban Bang Lamung, Tambon Bang Lamung. However, the government downgraded Bang Lamung to a district, with the district office on the banks of Khlong Nok Yang. In 1909, the district head, Phraya Sattaya Nukun (Choem), moved the district office to the seacoast in Tambon Na Kluea.
On 21 October 1952 the district office was completely destroyed by a storm. The office set up temporarily in Bang Lamung School, Sukhumvit Road. The following year the Thai government approved building a new district office near the school. It is still in use today.
During September 2023, the district experienced a surge in dengue fever, recording two deaths. Along with dengue fever, Bang Lamung is also experiencing a surge in Mpox cases, with the district recording 26 cases September 6.
