How to use it
Bangkok was once crossed by so many คลองklawng that visitors called it the Venice of the East. Many were filled in to build roads, but on the Thonburi side families still live in wooden houses along the water, and a commuter boat still runs on Khlong Saen Saep through central Bangkok.
