🚢 Khlong Lat Pho

Khlong Lat Pho 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.
