Khlong Lat Pho
Khlong Lat Pho

Khlong Lat Pho (Thai: คลองลัดโพธิ์, pronounced [kʰlɔ̄ːŋ lát pʰōː]) is a waterway in form of khlong (canal) in the area of Bang Kachao, connecting Bangkok and the neighbouring province of Samut Prakan. It was dug during the King Tai Sa's reign of Ban Phlu Luang dynasty in the late Ayutthaya period. The canal was used as a travel route for underclass, as well as a thoroughfare for kings when they went fishing in Samut Prakan. It was also a route for transporting troops and equipment in the early Rattanakosin period. Khlong Lat Pho currently serves as a shortcut to quickly sluice water from northern Thailand via the Chao Phraya river into the Gulf of Thailand in large volume. The main objective is to reduce flooding in the inner part of Bangkok. Based on the King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX)'s water diversion concept, Khlong Lat Pho accelerates the reduction of water overflow on either side of the Chao Phraya river before the sea rise and hence prevents the sea water from flooding the adjacent areas along the river sides. In addition to serving as the sluice gate, as recommended by the King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Khlong Lat Pho is used to generate electricity with assistance of hydraulic turbines installed at the watergate. Royal Irrigation Department (RID) has adopted the idea and installed hydraulic turbines at watergates nationwide, hence creating more sources of electricity generation for Thai people.

Bhumibol Bridge
Bhumibol Bridge

The Bhumibol Bridge (Thai: สะพานภูมิพล), also known as the Industrial Ring Road Bridge (Thai: สะพานวงแหวนอุตสาหกรรม) is part of the 13 km long Industrial Ring Road connecting southern Bangkok with Samut Prakan province. The bridge crosses the Chao Phraya River twice, with two striking cable-stayed spans of lengths of 702 m and 582 m supported by two diamond-shaped pylons 173 m and 164 m high. Where the two spans meet, another road rises to join them at a free-flowing interchange suspended 50 metres above the ground. The bridge opened for traffic on 20 September 2006, before the official opening date of 5 December 2006. It is part of the Bangkok Industrial Ring Road, a royal scheme initiated by King Bhumibol Adulyadej that aimed to solve traffic problems within Bangkok and surrounding areas, especially the industrial area around Khlong Toei Port, southern Bangkok, and Samut Prakan province. According to tradition, all bridges over the Chao Phraya in Bangkok are named after a member of the royal family. In October 2009, it was announced that both bridges would be named after King Bhumibol Adulyadej, with the northern bridge officially named "Bhumibol 1 Bridge" and the southern bridge "Bhumibol 2 Bridge". The unofficial name "Mega Bridge" was also widely used.The bridge was featured on the Discovery Channel. Even though the bridges are the fastest way to drive from Phra Pradaeng district, Samut Prakan Province to Bangkok, motorcycles were banned from using the two Bhumibol bridges from 1 November 2018 due to safety concerns.

Wat Chong Nonsi
Wat Chong Nonsi

Wat Chong Nonsi (Thai: วัดช่องนนทรี, pronounced [wát t͡ɕʰɔ̂ŋ nōn.sīː]) is a Thai Buddhist temple of the late Ayutthaya period. The temple is adjacent to the edge of Chao Phraya river on the east side of Bangkok in the area known as Chong Nonsi. The front of the temple faces the east likewise because it is the range where the river flows upward, opposite the side of Samut Prakan's Bang Kachao. The main construction is the ubosot (ordination hall). It is the junk-like bending hall with five rooms, two porches, which looks like Mhaaud Church. The front of the ubosot is made as a second projecting portico, with four pillars supporting the roof timbers. The gable is made as a carved-wooden partition without patterns. The roof is wavy, made of tiles, then plastered with cement adjacent to the eavea. The front of the hall has cetiyas (pagodas) and bai sema (stone boundary makers) stones lined up. The internal part houses the Buddha statue in subduing Mara posture, enshrined as the principal Buddha image, with the other four Buddha images spectacularly arranged in tiers. They are placed in pairs in an indenting way. At the base of the Buddha image, there is also gorgeous stucco with the lion's legs finely designed as the picture of garuda. The inside of the ubosot has mural paintings that narrate Jataka Tales, starting from the left wall of the principal Buddha image counterclockwise until completing ten stories. The front wall above the doorway is painted with the picture of Maravijaya. The paintings at Wat Chong Nonsi represent the pictures of the Ayutthaya period. This temple is one of the places where such paintings are completely extant, which may be contemporary with the paintings at Wat Prasat, Nonthaburi.

Khlong Chong Nonsi
Khlong Chong Nonsi

Khlong Chong Nonsi (Thai: คลองช่องนนทรี, pronounced [kʰlɔ̄ːŋ t͡ɕʰɔ̂ŋ nōn.sīː]) is a khlong (canal) in Bangkok's economic and financial district as well as the nearby Khlong Sathon. Khlong Chong Nonsi runs from Surawong road all the way down to the Chao Phraya river. It covers a distance of 4.5 km (2.8 mi) through districts of Bang Rak, Sathon and Yan Nawa. It is also the origin of the name Chong Nonsi. One of the two khwaengs (sub-district) in Yan Nawa district, where it empties into the Chao Phraya river. Currently, it runs parallel to the entire length of Narathiwat Ratchanakarin road. Somephases it crosses with other roads such as Chan, Rama III. The BTS SkyTrain Silom Line is at the northern end and the BRT bus runs up and down most of the canal. The width of the mouth of the canal is about 20 m (65.6 ft), and the phase runs along Narathiwat Ratchanakarin road is about 6 m (19.7 ft)–8 m (26.2 ft) wide.Its name "Chong Nonsi" is believed to be distorted from the word "Chong Nang Ni" (ช่องนางหนี) which means "a channel that lady escaped". It comes from a folklore titled "Legend of Lord U Thong", the story about an Ayutthaya mythical king named U Thong, who escaped cholera to various places and gave rise to the names of different places later on.A 2018 survey found that Khlong Chong Nonsi, especially the intersection of Silom and Surawong roads, was the dirtiest in Bangkok.
