Khlong Toei (также Klong Toey , тайский : คลองเตย , произносится [kʰlɔ̄ːŋ tɤ̄ːj] ) — район в центре Бангкока , давно известный своими трущобами . Он граничит с рекой Чао Прайя и содержит крупные портовые сооружения. Здесь также находится крупный рынок — рынок Khlong Toei .

Соседние районы (по часовой стрелке с севера): Ваттхана , Пхра Кханонг , район Пхра Прадаенг провинции Самут Пракан (через Чао Прайя ), Ян Нава , Сатон и Патум Ван .

История этого района восходит к девятому веку как порт для городов, расположенных вверх по течению реки Чао Прайя , таких как Пак Нам Прадаенг (тайский: เมืองปากน้ำพระประแดง) (в отличие от нынешнего Пхра). Район Прадаенг ), построенный в период правления короля Пхуттайотфа Чулалока .

Khlong Thanon Trong (тайский: คลองถนนตรง) был khlong (каналом) и параллельной дорогой, построенной королем Монгкутом около 1857 года. Позже разные участки канала стали известны как Khlong Toei и Khlong Hua Lamphong. Khlong Toei означает «канал пандана », так как растение росло вдоль южного берега канала. Дорога была переименована в Rama IV Road королем Ваджиравудхом в 1919 году. В 1947 году большая часть канала Khlong Toei была засыпана, чтобы расширить поверхность Rama IV Road.

Район когда-то был частью округа Пхра Кханонг , но 9 ноября 1989 года он был отделен, чтобы сформировать новый округ Кхлонг Тоей. Первоначально Кхлонг Тоей состоял из шести подокруга, три из которых позже образовали новый округ Ваттхана (объявлено 14 октября 1997 года, вступило в силу 6 марта 1998 года).

The squatted informal settlement was surveyed in 1971 and is one of the largest slums in Bangkok. In 2006, it was estimated that between 80,000 and 100,000 people live there.^[2][3]

The district is divided into three subdistricts (khwaeng). From west to east, these are:

Khlong Toei is both the name of a subdistrict and the district in which it lies. Phra Khanong is both a subdistrict of Khlong Toei and a district on its own, with only subdistrict Bang Chak. Furthermore, all three subdistricts listed above have counterparts with the addition of "nuea" (north) in Watthana District.

Khlong Toei Port, also known as Bangkok Port, was formerly Thailand's only major port for sea transportation of cargo. Its construction began in 1938 and finished after World War II. The port is on the Chao Phraya River, not far from the Gulf of Thailand. Due to its limited capacity and traffic problems caused by semi-trailer trucks, many of its operations have moved to Laem Chabang Port in Chonburi province since its opening in July 1981.
