Bangkok - Canals of Bangkok

Bangkok sightseeing, attractions and online travel guide

It is not for nothing Thais consider themselves ‘Jao Naam’ or ‘Water Lords’, Bangkok is criss-crossed by a vast network of both natural and man-made canals. Despite the obvious pollution plenty of Bangkok residents still use the waterways for bathing, laundry and recreation. A canal cruise is a fascinating way of discovering a truly ancient form of Thai life with the channels lined with homes, trading houses and temples all orientated towards water life. Highlights to be savoured are Bang Pa-In Summer Palace and the ruins of Autthaya.
