The 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]
