Toponymy

The name "Bang Chalong" is believed to derive from the Khmer word "Chanlong" (จรรโลง), which literally means "lifting." This refers to the act of lifting yo (ยอ), a traditional Thai fishing gear, or boats from the waters of the local canal, Khlong Bang Chalong. The word "Bang" denotes a riverside or waterfront community. Thus, Bang Chalong can be translated as "the place of lifting."
