History
editThe name "Ban Noen" originated from "Ban Noen-Khai Luang" (บ้านเนิน-ค่ายหลวง), dating to the Thonburi period (1767–82).[1] People in this area have careers making Khong wong (ฆ้องวง), Thai musical instruments that are made from metal by a casting and forgings method. Khong wong from Ban Noen are well known that good quality and reverberate sound. Although Ban Noen's Khong wong production is not a century-old profession like other traditional professions in Bangkok Noi. It existed shortly before the start of World War II, but at present there is only one manufacturer left.[2]
In addition, not far from here is also the location of another community is "Ban Bu" (บ้านบุ), a community with a bronze work casting career. [3][4] It is located on south bank of Khlong Bangkok Noi (Bangkok Noi canal)[4] and during World War II, it was the only community of Thonburi side adjacent to the Imperial Japanese Army base. It was often bombed by Allied planes at night.[5]
The people who lived near Ban Noen in the past, had careers making Khao maomai (ข้าวเม่าหมี่) (an old fashioned pounded unripe rice snack), a kind of traditional Thai snack since ancient times. At present, they have a career of Kalamae (กะละแม; Thai version of dodol) and Khaoniao daeng (ข้าวเหนียวแดง; whole grain sticky rice cooked with sugar in various ways), which is the main food used in Songkran festival.[6]
