Khlong Ban Khanom Tan could be translated as the "Canal of the Village of Sugar
Sweet". It flows through Kramang and Suan Phlu sub-district. The canal links Khlong
Khao San with Khlong Suan Phlu and the Pa Sak River; and probably gave access to
Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon.
No monasteries were situated along its banks.
The canal forms an island called "Ko Kaew" or "Crystal Island" with a stretch of the Pa
Sak River and Khlong Khao San. Ko Kaew was an important battleground during the
wars with the Burmese.
Khlong Khanom Tan is still in existence, but not maintained. The canal is filled in and is
only used as water drainage canal (heavily polluted).
