Khlong Bangkok Yai, Canal system in Bangkok, Thailand

Khlong Bangkok Yai extends for 6 kilometers through three districts of Bangkok, connecting multiple waterways including the Chao Phraya River and Khlong Samre.

During the reign of King Chairachathirat from 1534 to 1546, this section formed part of the original Chao Phraya River before becoming a separate canal.

The canal banks feature numerous religious structures, including Wat Molilokayaram, Wat Hongratanaram, Wat Kalayanamitr temples, and the Bang Luang and Tonson mosques.

This waterway serves as a transportation route and drainage system while connecting to major points across Bangkok through various interconnected canals.

The canal network earned distinction as the first waterway in Thailand to receive illumination through the installation of lampposts along its route.
