Bangkok is fascinating but challenging, especially for those seeking exercise.  This trail follows a path along a khlong (canal) which forms an extended and quiet oasis through about 10.5km of this frantic and congested city.  The Khlong Saen Saep is well known for its passenger boat service.  Long,  low, fast, overcrowded, smoking boats go to and from Wat Sri Boon Rueng in the NE suburbs to Wat Sakhet in the center. 

THERE IS BUCKETS OF PASSION IN THIS ROUTE.
