| 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 Bangkok, 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.

It is a major market area with thousands of fashion stores that sell wholesale with cheap prices guaranteed, especially if you buy in bulk. <a href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Bangkok/Pratunam" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Pratunam</a> is used in a broad sense here, and it also includes the areas of Victory Monument, Ratchathewi and Makkasan. The southern boundary of <a href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Bangkok/Pratunam" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Pratunam</a> is marked by the Saen Saep Canal. This canal was dug during the reign of King Rama III in the mid-nineteenth century to connect the Chao Phraya River with the Bang Pakong River to the east. When Saen Saep was connected with Maha Nak Canal and Krung Kasem Canal, a gate was required to control the water level between them. Pratunam means "water gate". It was not developed until the 1960s when rice fields dominated the landscape. Around that time, a fresh produce market was set up near the Indra Hotel at Ratchaprarop Road. Since then more markets have set up here, and the whole area has become known as a local marketplace.
