Etymology

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]
