Khlong Saen Saep is a canal (khlong) in central Thailand,
connecting the Chao Phraya River to Prachinburi Province and
Chachoengsao. A portion of the canal is used for public
transport by an express boat service in Bangkok. The 72 km long
canal passes through 21 districts and is connected to more than
100 smaller canals. Bridge "Saphan Chaloem La 56" at Phaya
Thai Road over Khlong Saen Saep, built in 1908 by King
Chulalongkorn. The Saen Saep Canal was built on the order of
King Rama III during a conflict between Siam and Annam over
Cambodia in order to establish water transport for soldiers and
weapons. Construction began in 1837 and was finished in three
years.[3] Klong Saen Saep was once filled with lotus plants.
King Mongkut in his fourth reign (1851-1868) built Sa Pathum

The Saen Saep starts from Maha Nak Canal (Khlong Maha Nak)
around Mahakan Fort in Bangkok. In Chachoengsao Province it ends
in the Bang Pakong River. |
