animedThe klongs
In most of the cities which are provided with them, the Klongs are used as means of transportation, bathrooms, swimming pools and trading places. Moreover, in Bangkok they are used as sewers - quite disgusting indeed!.

| The floating market in Damnen sadouak is lively and colourful. There you can buy plenty of delicious fresh fruit and generally everything that can be eaten. | ||

| As usual, if you make an effort to speak a few words of Thaï you will be entitled to a real, kindly smile. Then study closely my first rate franco thai dictionary . | A market place, but at this time of day everything is over. | Well, what else can be told? We are on a klong of Damnen Sadouak, in a "long tail". |

 |
| The Klongs must be looked after regularly as the waves from the long tails are fairly violent and deteriorate the banks. | When I meant "waves" I was talking seriously! | |

Here along the Bangkok klongs, wealthy buildings stand side by side near shanty districts. Take the boat-bus on the Klongs (which I talk about in the chapter "transportation") in order to see these spots which travel guides will never let you see. |
