Khlong Mon

Khlong Mon (Thai: คลองมอญ, pronounced [kʰlɔ̄ːŋ mɔ̄ːn]) is a khlong (canal) in Bangkok's Thonburi side. Khlong Mon has been dug since Ayutthaya period and delineates the border between Bangkok Yai and Bangkok Noi Districts. It has a starting from the west bank of the Chao Phraya River at the area beside the Royal Thai Navy Council passing Khlong Ban Khamin, which is the original city moat since Thonburi was the capital, to reach Khlong Bang Khun Si, also known as Khlong Chak Phra, which is the original Chao Phraya River, and Khlong Bangkok Yai. Then itself continuing on to the west as Khlong Bang Chueak Nang. Khlong Bang Chueak Nang when flowing to Wat Ko temple, it splits into two courses, the upper course called Khlong Bang Noi, while the lower course called Khlong Bang Chueak Nang and formed a boundary between Taling Chan with Phasi Charoen Districts. The khlong is called Khlong Mon from the reason that this area was the settlement of Mon ethnic people, and also called Khlong Bang Sao Thong (คลองบางเสาธง). The khlong was regarded as a strategic waterway. Therefore, a post was constructed on the khlong to be a checkpoint of the transported merchandises and passengers. The Mon peoples were appointed as the post-keepers. Throughout the 3 km (1.9 mi) length of the khlong, there are numerous old and important temples such as Wat Khrueawan, Wat Nak Klang, Wat Phraya Tham, Wat Chinorot, Wat Khrut, Wat Pho Riang, Wat Bang Sao Thong. Nowadays, the khlong is one of the famous foreign tourists' tour routes as well as Khlong Bangkok Yai or Khlong Bangkok Noi.The cabinet had a resolution in 1967 to have Khlong Mon as a preserved khlong.

Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea
Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea

Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea (Thai: วัดปากน้ำฝั่งเหนือ) is an old Thai Buddhist temple in Bangkok. It is a monastery paired with Wat Pak Nam Fang Tai, which is located on the opposite side with only the Khlong Bang Chueak Nang in the middle. The temple history is unclear, assumed to be built around 1827 and received wis̄ungkhāms̄īmā (วิสุงคามสีมา, "the boundary of the temple was bestowed by the king") in 1835. Legendarily both temple builders are brothers. Later, they had a disagreement, so they split up to build different temples, which is opposite the bank of the canal namely Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea ("the temple on the northern side of the confluence") and Wat Pak Nam Fang Tai ("the temple on the southern side of the confluence").Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea is smaller than Wat Pak Nam Fang Tai. The ordination hall is small in Mon style, facing east, with a single door without windows, known locally as mhaaud (มหาอุด). The principal Buddha image in the posture of meditation is called Luang Phor Petch (หลวงพ่อเพชร).Originally, it was inaccessible by car. In 2004, Wat Pak Nam Wittayakom School (present-day Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya's College), located on the temple grounds, opened up a space in the back of the school, thus allowing cars to access the temple.The temple is listed by the Fine Arts Department as a registered ancient monument in 2023.

The first one is on the south of the ordination hall, the base of the chedi outside is always located along the temple wall. While the other is currently in the area of the Baan Sinlapin (The Artist's House). Both chedis are about 10 meters (32 feet) high and they are now disintegrated over time.
