Nong Khaem ( Thai: หนองแขม, pronounced [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] [5]
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. [3] [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.[ citation needed]
In late 2021, it had a population of 80,179 people. [2]
