Khlong Prawet Burirom (คลองประเวศบุรีรมย์)

Thai. ‘Access to the Pleasing City Canal’. Name of a 46 kilometer long canal in eastern Bangkok, that runs along a west-eastern axis. It is an extension of Khlong Phra Khanong, which lay to its west. In the east, this man-made canal eventually connects to the Bang Pa Kong River (fig.) in Chachengsao (fig.). Its construction, which began in 1878 and finished in 1880, was promulgated in 1877 by King Chulalongkorn (fig.). See MAP. 回
