Khlong Chak Phra

Khlong Chak Phra extends 5.45 kilometers through Bangkok, connecting Bang Kok Noi and Taling Chan districts with a width of 10 to 15 meters.

The canal originated as a branch of the Chao Phraya River during the Ayutthaya period, forming a crucial water transportation route between different Bangkok districts.

The canal name derives from an annual Buddhist ceremony where sacred relics and Buddha images are transported on decorated boats through connected waterways.

The canal functions as an administrative boundary between Bang Kok Noi and Taling Chan districts, with the Taling Chan floating market located along its banks.

This waterway hosts specific religious processions on the second day of the twelfth waning moon each year, a tradition found only in Bangkok.
