Khlong Prem Prachakon, Historical canal in Bang Krasan, Thailand
Khlong Prem Prachakon stretches over 50 kilometers, connecting the waterways between Bangkok and Ayutthaya through multiple districts including Dusit and Bang Sue.
The construction of this canal began in 1869 during King Chulalongkorn's reign, marking the first major waterway project of the Rama V period.
The canal's name translates to 'the canal of citizens' joyfulness', reflecting its intended purpose as a public transportation route without fees or taxes.
This waterway functions as a critical drainage system within the Chao Phraya basin while providing transportation routes for residents across central Thailand.
The area surrounding the canal was previously inhabited by wild elephants, and the construction process led to the development of new settlements and agricultural lands.
