The History of Prawet Burirom canal

After the canal construction bill being promulgated in 1877, King Rama V had ordered to dig the extension part of Khlong Phra Khanong to join Khlong Dan and link with Bang Pakong river of Chachoengsao province. The dug canal was called Khlong Prawet Burirom. Besides, the canal was also dug 4 extened branches, totaling a distance of 46 kilometres. Phraya ratchaphonlankhan was appointed as chief of the project while Chao Phraya Surawong Waiyawat was project director. The excavation work took 3 years to finish. The man-made canal could not only help facilitating water transportation between Samut Prakan province and Chachoengsao province to a great extent, but also opening new cultivation areas along both sides of the canal.
