Bang Nok Khwaek

The locals therefore changed the name to "Bang Nok Khwaek" like today, which means "place of black-crowned night herons".

Later, during World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army had bombed Bang Nok Khwaek Watergate, in order not to transfer oil through, but did not damage anything.

This is believed to be a miracle from the local sacred Buddha image namely Luang Pho To (หลวงพ่อโต) that provides protection.
