go khlong - see the venice of the east
The khlongs are the canals that crisscross the city and give Bangkok its old nickname, the Venice of the East. In the past the main form of getting around the city was by boat. That was a long time ago, but the khlongs still give you a glimpse of the old Bangkok, before the glitz and the shiny towers appeared. This run takes you along the San Saep, one of Bangkok's most important khlongs. Starting in the thick of the city, we'll head eastwards into quieter territory, with lots to see on the way. There's usually a welcome breeze from time to time, but be warned: like the other Venice, these canals can kick up a bit of a stink.
