Bang Kapi area was once a jungle and has a history back to King Nangklao period when Chao Phraya Bodindecha led a troop to fight rebels in Champassack and Louangphabang and brought back people to settle here.

Bang Kapi was established as an amphoe of Phra Nakhon province. It was once very large, but has been split many times to form new am­phoe and districts.

In 1966, the Huay Khwang sub-district and parts of the Bang Kapi sub-district were divided off to form amphoe Phaya Thai.

In 1972, Phra Nakhon and Thon Buri were joined as the single province Krung Thep Maha Nakhon. Administrative districts in the capital city were changed from amphoe and tambon to district (khet) and sub-district (khwaeng), re­spectively. Bang Kapi thus became a district of the newly combined province, having at that time 9 sub-districts.

In 1977, the Sam Sen Nok sub-district was moved to Huai Khwang district.

In 1989, Lat Phrao and Bueng Kum were di­vided from Bang Kapi and became new districts.

On October 14, 1997, Wang Thonglang sub-district was elevated to a district, taking along part of Khlong Chan sub-district with it.

Bang Kapi is a nice district and crowded by street resto just like in Jakarta where you can eat good food with reasonable price.
