This district is named after a canal; Khlong Pasi Charoen which links Tha Chin River to Khlong Bangkok Yai. This canal project was initiated to create a passage for the local residents and was constructed for about 6 years. Further away from the canal, there are a number of housing villages and local residents. With the completion of the Blue Line passing along Phetkasem Road more and more condominiums will be sprouting up in the area. The extension of the Silom line across the Chao Phraya to Bang Wa has already resulted in huge condominium projects along the line.
