Khlong Saen Saep, Historic waterway in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Khlong Saen Saep extends 72 kilometers through Bangkok, connecting the Chao Phraya River to Prachinburi Province and Chachoengsao through 21 districts.
King Rama III ordered the construction of this canal in 1837 to support military operations during regional conflicts, completing the project within three years.
The canal maintains its position as a central element of Bangkok's daily life, with thousands of residents using water transportation for their regular commutes.
The express boat service operates between Pom Prap Sattru Phai and Bang Kapi districts, with fares ranging from 10 to 20 Baht per journey.
The waterway functions as both a transportation route and a drainage system, featuring 100 boats that carry over 60,000 passengers each day.
