Description

Khlong Bangkok Yai is a stretch in a loop of the old Chao Phraya River. The waterway became a canal when the 2 Km long shortcut named Khlong Ban Makok Yai or Khlong Lat Bangkok was dug in 1542 in the reign of King Chairacha (r. 1534-1547). The former loop was transformed into four canals being Bangkok Noi, Bang Ramat, Taling Chan, and Bangkok Yai. The cutting was responsible for the creation of Thonburi and Bangkok. About 3.6 Km further inside the canal near Wat Pak Nam Phasi Charoen is a canal dug in the period between 1705 and 1721 AD linking the Chao Phraya River with the Tha Jin River close to its mouth at the Gulf of Thailand.
