Bang 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).
