(1) Khlong Bang Khuat is situated off the city island in the northern area of Ayutthaya in the Wat Tum Sub-district. This canal was a shortcut in a meander of the old Lopburi River. The canal is named after the village Ban Bang Khuat where the by-pass canal had been dug. This village was situated on the east bank of the shortcut canal, just north of Ban Suan Yo and Wat Klang Raman. The canal was dug in the late Ayutthaya period.
