Wat Tha Ka Rong (crying crow dock temple) was situated on the river bank just north of the confluence of the Bang Kaeo waterway and the old Lopburi River (today the Chao Phraya River after its deviation in the second part of the 19th century) stood in an important strategic position in wartime, as next to an important dockyard, it also controlled the northern water route.
Along the Chao Phraya River are long rafts with stores selling food and other merchandise. On the weekends a modern representation of an old water market attracts the crowd.
