Dao Khanong (Thai: ดาวคะนอง, also spelled: ดาวคนอง) is a khwaeng (sub-district) of Thon Buri District, Bangkok's Thonburi side. It is also the name of the surrounding area.
History and etymology
Dao Khanong roughly translates as 'swaggering star'. It is named after the Khlong (canal) Dao Khanong, which runs through the area and is regarded as the right tributary of Chao Phraya River, which connects the Chao Phraya River with Khlong Bang Khun Thian in the Bang Khun Thian, Chom Thong and Rat Burana areas. Khlong Dao Khanong is regarded as one of the most bustling water transport routes in Bangkok, because it is a tourist route.[2]
There are several theories about the area's name. All believe that it originates from the Mon people and Mon language, because of the numerous Mon population in the area. There are many buildings and neighbourhoods that have Mon roots, such as Wat Nang Nong, or tambon Song Khanong in Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan Province (across the Chao Phraya River).
In addition, there is a legend about two crocodiles fighting in this area, hence the name Dang Khanong ['crocodiles's swagger'], later distorted to Dao Khanong.[3][4]
Dao Khanong was mentioned in "Nirat Mueang Klaeng" (นิราศเมืองแกลง), the travelogue poetry by the poet Sunthorn Phu in the early- Rattanakosin period.[3]
