Bang Kruai - Sai Noi Road from Bang Phlu intersection, in the direction it runs south past the entrance of Wat Suan Kaew temple where the famous monk preacher Phra Phayom Kalayano is the abbot, then turn right onto Bang Yai - Bang Khu Lat Road to reach the Old Bang Yai Market on the edge of the Khlong Bangkok Noi canal. At this point is the end of the Khlong Bangkok Noi that flows from Bangkok's Thonburi side, where it confluences with Khlong Bang Yai and Khlong Om Non on the boundary between Bang Len and Bang Muang Subdistricts of Bang Yai District.
