(1) Khlong Kudi Dao was an artificial short-cut canal running north-south and dug in a loop of the Pa Sak River, which riverbed later became Khlong Hantra. The canal is defunct today, but some small stretches can still be seen parallel with Road No 3058. The canal was an extension of Khlong Ayothya.
