Khanong

Khanong is a toponym used in Thailand and, less commonly, in neighboring regions. The name is most often encountered as part of compound place names that designate villages or subdistricts within Thai provinces. It is not generally used as an independent city or district name. The transliteration from Thai and other regional languages can yield slightly different spellings in English; common variants include Khanong, Khanongg, or Kanong in older maps.

Etymology and usage vary by locality, and reliable, widely available sources do not provide a single, universal meaning for Khanong. In Thai toponymy, elements of place names frequently reflect geographic features, historical associations, or local landmarks, but the precise significance of Khanong is not consistently documented across all instances.

Geographic distribution of Khanong components appears across multiple provincial and district-level names within Thailand. Because many places share this element, distinguishing them requires reference to the specific province, district, or tambon (subdistrict) involved when researching or visiting maps and gazetteers. The name may appear in rural and urban contexts, often as part of a longer designation rather than as a standalone locality.

Notability: There is no single Khanong that is widely recognized as a major urban center or internationally notable site. References to Khanong are typically local or regional in scope.
