Past this point, Khlong Maha Nak becomes [[Khlong Saen Saep]], the longest man made waterway in Thailand. [[file:สะพานเจริญราษฎร์ 32 เขตป้อมปราบศัตรูพ่าย กรุงเทพมหานคร (2).jpg|thumb|left|Five-headed naga sculpture]] It was the second bridge in the "Charoen" bridge series (after [[Charoenrat 31 Bridge]] in [[Pak Khlong Talat]] area). They are bridges that King [[Rama VI]] built on the occasion of his birthday each year for public benefit.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aroundonline.com/bangkok-news282-3/|title=เยือน 5 สะพานชุดเจริญ ยล 5 คลองภูมิทัศน์ใหม่ของกรุงเทพฯ|accessdate=2022-07-22|date=2024-08-20|language=thai|work=AROUND|author=Aroundonline}}</ref>
Charoen Rat 32 Bridge has the five-headed [[Phaya Nak|Naga]] sculptures on each of its four corners. From here view of [[Wat Saket]]'s [[Golden Mount]], and the mustard-yellow and green roof of Masjid Mahanak, which stands out among half-timbered and concrete houses can see clearly. This Islamic house of worship and its surrounding communities are among Bangkok's oldest masjids and Muslim communities. These Muslim ancestors were among the laborers who helped dig Khlong Maha Nak and its continuation, Khlong Saen Saep, more than 200 years ago in the early [[Rattanakosin period]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thaipbs.or.th/program/JakRakSuRao/episodes/82591|work=[[Thai PBS]]|language=thai|accessdate=2021-11-15|date=2024-08-20|title=ชุมชนมัสยิดมหานาคกับโอเอซิสกลางเมืองใหญ่|author=JakRakSuRao}}</ref>
