History

The name Lak Si means 'fourth milestone'. The community here was called Lak Si because it is at the fourth milestone of Khlong Prem Prachakon (คลองเปรมประชากร) (canal) dug during King Chulalongkorn's reign linking Bangkok to Bang Pa-in. Lak Si became a district on 21 November 1997, separating from Don Mueang District.
