Bangkok (Khlong Toei district)

Khlong Toei lies on the east bank of the Chao Phraya, south of Sukhumvit Road, between Pathum Wan and Phra Khanong, and takes its name from a canal once lined with pandanus (toei). Originally an area of orchards and paddy fields, it changed markedly in the twentieth century when the Port of Bangkok was built along its riverfront, drawing warehouses, dock workers and a large informal settlement. Separated from Phra Khanong in 1989, the district in turn ceded part of its territory to form Watthana in 1998. Today the port, the busy Khlong Toei Market, Benjakitti Park and the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre stand alongside newer cultural venues such as the contemporary art museum DIB Bangkok.
