Khlong Mon, Historic canal in Bangkok Noi and Bangkok Yai, Thailand
Khlong Mon stretches for 3,000 meters through Bangkok's western districts, connecting the Chao Phraya River to several smaller waterways in the region.
The canal dates back to the Ayutthaya period and functioned as a strategic checkpoint where Mon people supervised the transportation of goods and passengers.
Multiple temples line the canal banks, including Wat Khrueawan, Wat Nak Klang, Wat Phraya Tham, Wat Chinorot, and Wat Pho Riang.
Visitors can explore the canal by boat, observing local life and accessing various districts while experiencing traditional water-based transportation methods.
The canal received its name from the Mon ethnic community that settled in the area and maintained control of the waterway checkpoint.
