Khlong Sanam Chai

The Khlong Sanam Chai canal extends through multiple districts, functioning as a water management system that supports local agriculture and transportation networks.

The canal was constructed in 1903 by the Siam Canal Company as part of a larger irrigation project to transform undeveloped Thung Luang into agricultural land.

The waterway connects several Buddhist temples along its banks, where communities gather for traditional ceremonies and religious activities throughout the year.

Water taxis and long-tail boats navigate the canal daily, providing transportation services between residential areas and local markets from sunrise to sunset.

Located at 6 meters above sea level, the canal maintains specific water levels that enable natural drainage and prevent flooding in surrounding neighborhoods.

Elevation above the sea: 6 m
