What does KLONG mean in Scrabble?
noun
A canal in Thailand, especially one of the many waterways that once served as the main streets of Bangkok.
A klong carries boat traffic, rainwater, and sometimes floating markets through low, flat land where a river delta spreads out toward the sea. Bangkok grew up around a dense network of klongs before roads took over, and the Thai capital was once known abroad as the Venice of the East partly because of them. The English spelling klong reflects an older way of writing the Thai word, and travel writing still uses it for any similar canal in the region.
How KLONG is used
Chiefly used in descriptions of Thailand and Bangkok, rarely applied to canals elsewhere.
