Khlong Chedi Bucha

Both khlongs were dug during the King Mongkut (Rama IV)'s reign to shorten travel time for the monarch and other pilgrims from Bangkok who wish to visit the grand pagoda.

After the restoration of Phra Pathom Chedi was completed in the year 1853 by Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Prayurawongse (Tish Bunnag).

The whole excavation mission was transferred to his son, Chaophraya Thiphakorawong (Kham Bunnag), who hired Chinese laborers to continue dig.

In the past, Khlong Chedi Bucha was considered the main route from Bangkok to Nakhon Pathom Province, since in those days there was no railroad.

[2] At present, Khlong Chedi Buch is not the main route anymore, including the Talat Tonson, being in a lonely state.
