Sai Mai (Thai: สายไหม; IPA: [sǎːj mǎj]) is one of the 50 districts (Khet) of Bangkok, Thailand. It is bounded by (from north clockwise): Amphoe Lam Luk Ka of Pathum Thani Province; Khlong Sam Wa, Bang Khen and Don Mueang of Bangkok.

History

Due to the growth of population in the area, Sai Mai was elevated to a district effective 21 November 1997 to improve the service and administration.[1]
