Description: |

Khlong Bangkok Yai of Bangkok. Originally it was part of the
Chao Phraya River. In the past, the course of the Chao Phraya
was longer than in the present. Those who travel by boat must
cruise along the river, which took more than one day, until the
reign of King Chairachathirat (1534–46) of the Ayutthaya Kingdom
who ordered the construction of a canal bypassing a loop of the
Chao Phraya River, known as Khlong Lat Bangkok, thus reducing
travel times and changing the course of the Chao Phraya, which
now flows along the new canal. The old course became what is
known today as Khlong Bangkok Yai (lower section) and Khlong
Bangkok Noi (upper section). |
