Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem, Historic canal in Dusit and Phra Nakhon districts, Thailand.
Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem spans through Bangkok's urban landscape, connecting Wat Thewarat Kunchon to Wat Kaeo Fa with its water channels.
King Mongkut ordered the construction of this canal in 1851 to expand Bangkok's boundaries, resulting in doubling the city area to 8.883 square kilometers.
The name translates to 'the canal upholding the city's happiness,' reflecting Thai traditions of integrating waterways into urban development.
Electric river shuttle boats operate from 6 AM to 8 PM at 15-minute intervals, providing transportation along the canal with stops near temples and stations.
Seven military forts were constructed along this waterway, marking a transition period in Bangkok's defense systems from traditional moats to modern fortifications.
