Khlong Ban Bat could be translated as the "Canal of the Village of the Alms-Bowl"
and is situated in Phai Ling sub-district. The waterway links the present Pa Sak River
with Khlong Kramang (Phai Ling) and Khlong Dusit.
Khlong Ban Bat houses an active Buddhist monastery at its mouth on the south bank
being Wat Phichai Songkram. Two more monasteries were situated along this canal: the
vanished Wat Chaofa Dokdua and Wat Chaofa Rasami on its south bank.
Khlong Ban Bat can be paddled by kayak as part of the Hantra kayak trip. A description
of the trip can be found on this web site under the section "kayaking".
This canal tends to be very polluted most of the time.
