Bang Chalong (Thai: บางโฉลง, in Thai pronounced as /bāːŋ t͡ɕʰā.lǒːŋ/) is a tambon (subdistrict) of Bang Phli District, in Samut Prakan Province, Thailand. In 2017, it had a total population of 41,834 people.[1]
Its name "Bang Chalong", presumed to be from the Khmer word "Chanlong" (จรรโลง), literally 'lifting'. Which means lifting yo (ยอ; a kind of traditional Thai fishing tool) and boats from the water of local canal Khlong Samrong. While "Bang" refers to 'community on the waterfront', thus "Bang Chalong" can be translated as 'lifting place'. [2]
The tambon is subdivided into 11 administrative villages (muban).
