There is good reason why Bangkok was once known as the Venice of the East. The city relied on its many canals, called khlong, for transportation. Today although many of the canals have been filled in, there are still a number that are visible and in use. You can take ferry boats on these canals as a form of city transport.

  1. Khlong Bang Lamphu
    The northern part of the second of three concentric canals of medieval Bangkok.

  2. Khlong Lord
    The innermost of the three ring canals that were carved to demarcate medieval Bangkok.

  3. Khlong Lot Wat Thep Thidaram
    Narrow canal between Khlong Rop Krung and Khlong Kha Muang Doem.

  4. Khlong Mahachai
    The innermost of the three ring canals that were carved to demarcate medieval Bangkok.

  5. Khlong Maha Nak
    Canal that connects Khlong Rup Krung to Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem.

  6. Khlong Ong Ang
    The southern part of the second of three concentric canals of medieval Bangkok.

  7. Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem
