Canals and rivers are among the most interesting tourist attractions in Bangkok. They are deeply connected to the culture, community lifestyle, and the history of Thailand, dating back to the 15th century. The place we will visit is one of the oldest communities, believed to have been established during the Ayutthaya period. It also serves as a transportation route for locals who use boats as a means of travel.
Even today, some locals still use boats for their daily commutes, while others have passed down their land for their descendants to use for living or business purposes. Some communities have been developed into tourist destinations, such as the Artist Village, Wat Kamphaeng, Wat Paknam, and homestays.
