History
eeditBang Kho Laem wis umwhile a pairt o amphoe Ban Thawai in Phra Pradaeng province.
Ban Thawai wis later reassigned tae Phra Nakhon province, an renamit amphoe Yan Nawa. When Phra Nakhon an Thonburi wur combined intae a single province in 1972, the names o admeenistrative units in the newly combined caipital wur chyngit frae amphoe an tambon tae destrict (khet) an sub-destrict (khwaeng). Thus, amphoe Yan Nawa (อำเภอยานนาวา) became khet Yan Nawa (เขตยานนาวา).
Due tae population increases, on 18 Apryle 1989, Yan Nawa Branch 2 (Khwaeng Bang Kho Laem) wis established as a seicont admeenistrative unit athin the Yan Nawa destrict, owerseein three sub-destricts: Bang Kho Laem, Wat Phraya Krai an Bang Khlo. It wis separatit as its awn destrict on 9 November 1989, an cried Bang Kho Laem.
