AboutKhlong Toei Nuea (Thai: คลองเตยเหนือ, pronounced [kʰlɔ̄ːŋ tɤ̄ːj nɯ̌a̯]) is a khwaeng (subdistrict) of Watthana District, in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2020, it had a total population of 9,313 people Khlong Toei Nuea Sub District DISTRICT: Watthana POSTCODE: 10110 You might be surprised to learn that Khlong Toei Nuea is not a sub-district of Khlong Toei - but rather it is a sub-district of Watthana District. However, it would seem that originally it was part of Khlong Toei which gave up three of its districts in 1998 to form Watthana. Khlong is commonly heard in Thai and means canal. Toei refers to pandan which is a plant that grew along the banks. As part of Watthana, Khlong Toei Nuea is in one of the most developed parts of Bangkok. According to google maps, the centre of Khlong Toei Nuea is about 500 metres from the Terminal 21 shopping complex. The walk would take you along Sukhumvit Soi 19 past the Westin Grande and further along, the Sukhumvit 19 Beer Garden. The Grand Mercure Bangkok Asoke Residence and The Grand Asoke Residence Sukhumvit are located in the heart of the sub-district. Nearby you will also find the Embassies of Sri Lanka and Israel. Nearby, you will also find the Watthana Wittaya Academy which is a bit further along up Sukhumvit Soi 19. It was founded in 1874 by the American Presbyterian Mission and was at that time named Kullasatri Wanglang. It has the distinction of being both the first boarding school in Thailand for girls, and also the first Kindergarten. At that time, in addition to Bible study, the girls were taught reading, writing and sewing. Neighboring districts are (clockwise from the north): Watthana, Phra Khanong, Amphoe Phra Pradaeng of Samut Prakan Province (across the Chao Phraya), Yan Nawa, Sathon, and Pathum Wan. The area has a history dating back to the ninth century as a port to cities upstream along the Chao Phraya River, such as Pak Nam Phra Pradaeng (Thai: เมืองปากน้ำพระประแดง) (as opposed to the current Amphoe Phra Pradaeng) built during the King Phutthayotfa Chulalok period. Khlong Thanon Trong (Thai: คลองถนนตรง) was a khlong (canal) and a parallel road built by King Mongkut around 1857. Later, different sections of the canal became known as Khlong Toei and Khlong Hua Lamphong. Khlong Toeimeans 'the canal of pandan', as the plant grew along the southern bank of the canal. The road was renamed Rama IV Road by King Vajiravudh in 1919. In 1947, a large portion of Khlong Toei canal was filled to expand the Rama IV Road surface. The area was once part of the Phra Khanong District, but on 9 November 1989 it was separated into the new Khlong Toei District. Originally Khlong Toei consisted of six sub-districts, three of which later formed the new Watthana District (announced on 14 October 1997, effective 6 March 1998) Map Map zones Compare zoneswe tag into the local map service, "LONGDO" adding a special tag word, below the map image is the link to see in the map  Longdo (local map service) all rooftops Bangkok with tag word Family Tour Zones Bangkok will appear in search map tips: re position the market and refresh the search Longdo map tips: transport, hospitality, tourism in longdo map best search when we find them we add to pls do tell us more so we can update the list  if you like info, keep us going sponsor a coffee when I roam around town with a few bags of camera gear, phones and compass I get tired in this link you can buy me a coffee and include a message which helps so much ultimately I prefer support for visit my local charity project FSCC Foundation Slum Child Care log of my visits and money raised  Facebook groups Bangkok showing last 5 changes see all Directory Tourism Prices from online booking services Other stuff
