Thanarak KhuntonOn the Thon Buri side of Chao Phraya River, Klong San is an old school community, a trading district since the early Bangkok period. It was believed to be formerly called Klong San Hong. Klong San is where the largest fort built for the protection of the city stands. In 1949, the Thon Buri Municipality threatened to demolish the decaying fort unless the Fine Arts Department listed it as an ancient national monument. The traditional has welcomed the cool -- and that way Klong San lives on.
