Khlong Dan, Registered historic site near Wat Apson Sawan, Thailand.

Khlong Dan marks the beginning of a 30-kilometer waterway that connects the Chao Phraya River to the Tha Chin River in Thailand.

The natural canal existed during the Ayutthaya period and later became a strategic route for transporting Siamese army forces in early Rattanakosin times.

Multiple temples line the banks of the waterway, including Wat Apson Sawan and Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen, reflecting Thai religious traditions.

The canal system currently functions as part of a flood management project, featuring regulators and pumping stations to control urban water levels.

Fort Wichien Chodok stands at the meeting point of Khlong Sanam Chai and Tha Chin River, built as a defense structure against potential invaders.
