Bang Chalong

Bang Chalong (Thai: บางโฉลง, pronounced [bāːŋ t͡ɕʰā.lǒːŋ]) is a tambon (subdistrict) of Bang Phli District, in Samut Prakan Province, Thailand.

[1] Its name "Bang Chalong", presumed to be from the Khmer word "Chanlong" (จรรโลง), literally 'lifting'.

Which means lifting yo (ยอ; a kind of traditional Thai fishing tool) and boats from the water of local canal Khlong Samrong.

[2] The tambon is subdivided into 11 administrative villages (muban).
