Taling Chan district
Taling Chan (Thai: ตลิ่งชัน, pronounced [tā.lìŋ tɕʰān]) is one of the 50 districts (khet) of Bangkok, Thailand. Its neighbours, clockwise from the north, are Bang Kruai district of Nonthaburi province and Bang Phlat, Bangkok Noi, Bangkok Yai, Phasi Charoen, Bang Khae, and Thawi Watthana Districts of Bangkok.
Taling Chan is an old district, dating back to the time when Thonburi was a separate province; now, Thonburi has merged into Bangkok. In 1998, part of the district was split off to form the new Thawi Watthana district. Historically, much of the area was used as orchards and kitchen gardens, many of which remain today; it has been called "Bangkok's Kitchen."
About 1,000 years ago, the landscape of Taling Chan is believed to have been part of the Chao Phraya river delta, consisting of muddy mangrove forests with no evidence of human settlement.
Two areas of Taling Chan, Bang Ramat and Bang Chueak Nang, were mentioned in the Kamsuan Samut of the Ayutthaya period; they are regarded as among Bangkok's oldest zones.
During World War II, a southern railway line running through the district was one of the targets of Allied bombing.
Taling Chan covers a rectangular area and is intersected by many waterways. It is an agricultural area, which makes access by road difficult. Today, many roads pass through the district, such as Kanchanaphisek, Borommaratchachonnani, Ratchaphruek, Phutthamonthon Sai 1, and Phran Nok-Phutthamonthon Sai 4; however, the most convenient route is still by water. Taling Chan is served by both BMTA and affiliated buses, but only on a few lines. There was no electricity in the area until 1972.
The district is divided into six sub-districts (khwaeng).
The missing number 6 belongs to the sub-district which was split off to form Thawi Watthana district.
