Khlong Dao Khanong

Khlong Dao Khanong extends through the western section of Bangkok, connecting multiple water routes at an elevation of 10 meters above sea level.

The canal emerged as a crucial water transport route during Bangkok's early development, particularly in the Thonburi district's expansion and water management system.

The name derives from Mon language influences, reflecting the historical presence of Mon communities who settled along its banks in previous centuries.

The waterway serves as a transportation corridor for local residents, linking the Thonburi area with other sections of Bangkok's extensive canal network.

The canal flows through Dao Khanong subdistrict, which transformed from a watch and glasses commercial center in the 1970s to a modern urban area.
