Summary

Description

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khlong_Saen_Saep_boat_service" rel="noreferrer nofollow">The Khlong Saen Saep Express Boat </a>service operates on the Khlong Saen Saep in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Bangkok</a>, providing fast, inexpensive transportation through the city's traffic-congested commercial districts. The service has a checkered reputation, due to the polluted water in the khlong and the haphazard nature in which the service is operated. The 18-kilometre route is served by 100 boats of 40-50 seats, and operates 5:30am to 8:30pm daily. Prices are 8 to 20 baht, depending on distance travelled. The service carries about 60,000 passengers per day. It is run by a company called Family Transport.

A portion of the canal is used for public transport by an express boat service in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Bangkok</a>.

The canal is lined with concrete walkways on either side in many areas where people stroll. In other areas the heavily polluted water oozes into adjacent properties, especially after heavy rainstorms. The canal is connected to many other canals in a large network, though most of the other canals do not have a regular transport service.

The Saen Saep starts from Mahanak canal or Khlong Mahanak around Mahakan Fortress in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Bangkok</a>. In Chachoengsao it terminates into the Bang Pa Kong River. Source: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khlong_Saen_Saep" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org</a>
