A khlong (, ), alternatively spelt klong (), is a type of canal found in Thailand. Khlongs are formed from the rivers Chao Phraya, Tha Chin, and Mae Klong, along with their tributaries, particularly in the low-lying areas of central Thailand. The Thai word khlong is not limited to artificial canals. Many smaller rivers are referred to as "khlong" followed by the name of the stream.
