Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Bang Ban, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Bang Pa-in of Ayutthaya Province, Sam Khok of Pathum Thani province, and Lat Bua Luang and Sena of Ayutthaya again.
The main water sources are Chao Phraya and Noi Rivers. The topography of Bang Sai is a lowland area, so it experiences flooding almost every year.[2]
