Khlong Bang Mot (Thai: คลองบางมด, pronounced [kʰlɔ̄ːŋ bāːŋ mót]; also spelled Bangmod; literally: "place of ants") is a khlong (canal) in central Thailand. It is located at a natural border between the Bang Khun Thian and the Thung Khru districts. The canal is approximately 5.67 kilometers (3.5232 miles) in length. Most of the area consists of plantations and farms. During the reign of King Nangklao, also known as King Rama III (Thai: พระบาทสมเด็จพระนั่งเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว), Thailand started to trade agricultural products with other countries. Since then, Bang Mot tangerine have become its most famous product and are largely produced in the Bang Mot area. The Bang Mot canal connects to more than 40 others, facilitating the transport of products across markets.
Transport
Khlong Bang Mot has a popular floating market. The canal has bicycle lanes that stretch for 3-4 kilometers alongside the canal. These lanes link with BTS Wutthakat Station. Thailand's sky train (Thai: สถานีวุฒากาศ) provides tourist transportation.
