» A memory from 10 years ago is still haunting me vividly. I remember the time when I had to commute by boat through the infamous Khlong Saen Saep from Bang Kapi to Pratunam. All passengers have to use their hands to prevent water from the canal splashing on the face. The odour of the water is almost unbearable. Anybody who has to commute that way would know what I mean.
