Khlong Tho (Khlong Chakai): A green lung and hidden charm in the heart of the old city

But did you know that amidst the heat of the old city's sunlight, there is a corner surrounded by greenery and quietly flowing water? That is "Khlong Tho," or what is known in the ancient name as "Khlong Chakai Yai," a historical area that has become a secret oasis for nature lovers in the heart of the city island.
An atmosphere that cannot be found from the main check-in points
The highlight of Khlong Tho is its greenery. Both sides of the canal are covered with large trees that spread their branches to provide shade throughout the day. The air in this area is noticeably cooler than other parts of the city. The atmosphere is quiet, without the noise from tour buses or crowds, allowing tourists to stroll and relax, or sit and rest to the fullest.
Photo spots that tourists overlook
For content creators, Khlong Tho is a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. With sunlight filtering through the leaves onto the water surface, and backdrops of bridges designed like old bridges or small ancient ruins such as Wat Som, Wat Chao Phram, it helps to create photos that look peaceful and enchanting. There are also small van cafes and restaurants serving near the Khlong Tho intersection.
Happy to rest
Visiting Khlong Tho is not just about seeing ancient sites, but about giving yourself time to sit and listen to the sounds of birds and water under the shade of large trees. sookjai.club recommends that this Khlong Chakai will make you fall in love with Ayutthaya in a gentler way for sure.
