because I wish I managed to take more pictures of the life on the canals

- Khlong Saen Saep Express, 25022017

seriously, while it took us around 15 minutes to get to Phanfa Leelard from Asoke Pier, I didn’t have much time to be clicking the shutter..

for the first part of the ride, I was busy hanging on to the rope so that I won’t fall…

and for the second part (where we get to sit when we changed to other boat at Partunam) , I was busy handling the filmsy-splash-protector thingy…

this ride that cost 14 baht gave me a glimpse of life on the canal..

some walls are covered with eye-catching street-art..

some houses are beautifully decorated with bougainvillea flowers..

and on some parts, there are fairly run-down wooden house…

you can see people fishing here and there,

sipping coffee without a care,

sleeping on hammocks tied to the tree,

or in their wooden house watching TV.

in my view, the canals have so much potential to be grander than what seemingly feel like an oversized, smelly drain..
