Nakhon Chai Si (Thai: นครชัยศรี) is a district (Amphoe) of Nakhon Pathom Province, central Thailand.
[edit] History
It was established in the reign of King Maha Chakkraphat of Ayutthaya kingdom. When King Chulalongkorn created the Monthon as part of the thesaphiban administrative reform, Mueang Nakhon Chai Si was the capital city of Monthon Nakhon Chai Si. Later when the government gave up the system, Mueang Nakhon Chai Si was downgraded to be a district of Nakhon Pathom.

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Bang Len, Phutthamonthon, Sam Phran, Mueang Nakhon Pathom and Don Tum.

[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 24 communes (tambon), which are further subdivided into 108 villages (muban). Both Nakhon Chaisi and Huai Phlu have township (thesaban tambon) status. Each of the tambon has a Tambon administrative organization.
