Nong Khaem (Thai: หนองแขม, in Thai pronounced as /nɔ̌ːŋ kʰɛ̌ːm/) is a khwaeng (subdistrict) of Nong Khaem District, in Bangkok, Thailand.
Situated at the western edge of Bangkok, Nong Khaem borders provinces of Samut Sakhon and Nakhon Pathom and is known for a number of agriculture projects like white champaca and orchid breeding include chital deer farming. In 1870 a temple was built here next a nong (marsh) that was thick with khaem (Saccharum arundinaceum, a type of reed), which became the name of both the temple and, much later, the administrative district.[3] [4]
During that time, the administrative centre of Nong Khaem was here. Along the Khlong Phasi Charoen canal, the district office and the police station were located.[5] [6]
As a khwaeng, Nong Khaem is lower part of the district. The upper part of the area is a low-density residential area. The lower part is an agricultural area.
In late 2021, it had a population of 80,179 people.[2]
