Kaeng Khoi (Thai: แก่งคอย) is a district (amphoe) in the northeastern part of Saraburi Province, central Thailand.

History

The district was created in 1827 and called khwaeng Kaeng Khoi. The district office was in Ban Tan Diao. In 1897, the khwaeng was converted to an amphoe. The office of the district was moved from the Pa Sak River bank to nearby Kaeng Khoi railway station in 1915.
