Video: On the job with Bangkok's kings of the khlong
It doesn't smell great, but riding the city's last canal ferry line has its perks
Produced by CNNGo contributor Joel Gershon, narrated by Ploy Jular.
Catching a ride on the Chao Phraya river is a sedate experience compared with speeding on the fast-paced boats that whiz down Bangkok’s Saen Saeb khlong ferry line.
Riders can often be seen leaping on and off piers into the ferry, as most of the boat drivers dislike coming to a full stop. The helmet-clad attendants make their ways around the outer edges, taking care to duck when the boat passes under a bridge.
On really hot days, the khlong can smell pretty bad. But when you’re zipping down the canal while nearby traffic on Sukhumvit is at a standstill, it’s worth it. Just keep your mouth closed.
It's the last khlong ferry line in the city, but 40,000 people still use the service every day. Check out our video above for more on the staff who work on these fast-paced ferries and the passengers brave enough to ride them.
