Canals of Bangkok https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Klongs.jpg Torox
There is good reason why Bangkok was once known as the Venice of the East. The city relied on its many canals, called khlong, for transportation. Today although many of the canals have been filled in, there are still a number that are visible and in use. You can take ferry boats on these canals as a form of city transport.
Khlong Bang Lamphu The northern part of the second of three concentric canals of medieval Bangkok.
Khlong Lord The innermost of the three ring canals that were carved to demarcate medieval Bangkok.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
