Summary

[edit]
Description

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khlong_Saen_Saep" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Khlong Saen Saep</a> is a canal (khlong) in central <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thailand" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Thailand</a>, connecting the Chao Phraya River to Prachin Buri and Chachoengsao. 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.

An express boat service operates on the Saen Saep between Pom Prap Sattru Phai and Bang Kapi districts, providing fast, inexpensive ferry transportation in traffic-congested central <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Bangkok</a>. 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 northern line terminates at Golden Mount, and the southern line terminates at NIDA. Boats go past Watthana and Huai Khwang districts, running parallel to Petchaburi Road.
