Somdet Chao Phraya (Template:Lang-th) is an one of four khwaengs (subdistrict) of Khlong San district, Bangkok's Thonburi side (west bank of Chao Phraya river).
History
The subdistrict is named after Khlong Somdet Chao Phraya, a khlong (canal) that runs through the area and flowing to the Khlong Bang Sai Kai in the neighbouring district Thon Buri, with total length is approximately 2.5 km (about 1 mi).[1]
Its name "Somdet Chao Phraya" is a rank of Thai aristocracy, since it was excavated during reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV) by the nobility of this rank in the Bunnag family as well as being their residence. Not only this khlong, but also including other khlongs in Khlong San neighbourhood most of them were excavated by members of Bunnag family, such as Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Prayurawongse, Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Phichai Yat, and Somdet Chao Phraya Sri Suriwongse. In addition, they are also the renovators of many wats (temple) in the area, for example Wat Phichai Yat, Wat Anongkharam etc.[2]
