Bang Lamphu, also spelled Banglampoo or Banglamphu (Thai: บางลำพู, pronounced [bāːŋ lām.pʰūː]; in the past, it was often misspelled บางลำภู) is a neighbourhood in Bangkok located in Phra Nakhon District. The history of the Bang Lamphu community dates to the establishment of the Rattanakosin Kingdom, or earlier. Bang Lamphu covers the area north of Phra Nakhon, both inside and outside Rattanakosin Island, stretching from Phra Athit to Samsen Roads, which lead toward Dusit District. Most of Bang Lamphu lies within Talat Yot Subdistrict, with parts extending into nearby subdistricts such as Chana Songkhram, Bowon Niwet, Ban Phan Thom, and up to Wat Sam Phraya.
