Khlong Phasi Charoen, Canal system in western Bangkok, Thailand
The Khlong Phasi Charoen extends for 24 kilometers from Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen to the Tha Chin River through the Thonburi region of Bangkok.
Construction of the canal began in 1866 under King Mongkut's approval, with funding arranged through tax deductions to ensure free passage for all users.
The waterway connects multiple Buddhist temples, including Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen and Wat Ang Thong, serving as a spiritual and community connection route.
Two mechanical water gates, designed by Dutch engineers, regulate water flow and facilitate transportation between the Chao Phraya and Tha Chin rivers.
The canal gained international recognition when it served as a filming location for a boat chase sequence in the 1974 James Bond film.
