Just got home from Bangkok. Scratched using a canal boat off my bucket list. Boarded a canal boat outside Jim Thompson House and took it to stop at Wat Saket. Attendant came around asking where I was going and quoted 12 baht. Super easy!
Wow!!!wow!!! I love Bangkok... was there about 7 years ago... You say that you're living there for 15 years.... Wow!! Love watching your videos...
"It's great to know about the new route! I have never biked there before, so it's worth a shot. However, the pavement on Sukhumvit Soi 1 seems to be in bad shape, and there are many parked vehicles on both sides of the road, which makes the narrow street even narrower.
Please be cautious when riding near the zinc roofs as they have sharp edges that can cause cuts to your skin."
Interesting, i used this boat many times. The best transport from the east to the center
I like the new construction. Its great to see Bangkok improving, incredible city and I can't wait to visit again.
Excellent, you’ve given me a whole new insight for our next trip.
I will be there soon Jeroen with my bicycle. Thank😂 you very much🇸🇨
Lived almost two years at the last stop on this khlong in Bangkapi . I would always get the boat at Pratunam going home because it was the only way I would get a seat 😂. Gets crowded at the end of the day for people going to Bangkapi. There’s actually an electric boat you can take from the last stop all the way to minburi.
Jeroen, that's awesome you made a video of this. I've been taking regular walks along this route since they opened up the new path. I've walked to the left of where you started. The furthest you can go on foot in that direction (inbound) is just over the railroad tracks. Past that point there's no walkway on either side.
A few points of interest to add:
@7:35 On the opposite side of the bridge from Soi 11, there's a steel door which is open weekdays 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. That's at the back of Thanapoom Tower. It's a short walk along the side of the building to Petchaburi Rd. Turn left at the road, and there's Thanapoom Market. It's a nice, little market catering mostly to the office workers in the area.
@13:00 That pier/area is known as "Mor Sor Wor" by locals and the staff on the canal boats. "Mor Sor Wor" is an abbreviation of the Thai name of the university: "Mahawitayalai Srinakarin Wirot". It's worthwhile to take a walk through the university if you're in the area to see if there's anything going on. There's a market on Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:30 a.m. - 2 p.m. On some afternoons, food trucks set up shop around the field.
@19:30 I've seen that same woman out there sweeping several times. She either takes a lot of pride in her neighborhood, or she has OCD. Maybe it's both. Whatever the reason, we could use more people like her. Good for you orange-haired lady! 👍😅
@20:00 On the right side, that little opening is the end of Sukhumvit Soi 49. In the afternoons, there are food-to-order shops and street vendors in that area. Walking in from the canal, there's a vacant lot on the right-hand side, around 50 meters in. In the early evenings there's a small market in that lot which caters to the locals (read "cheap prices"). There's a woman on one end of the market who sells Esarn food, so if you're hankering for some larb, nam dtok, or som tum, she's your go to place in the area.
The end of Soi 49 is very easy to spot along the canal. Directly opposite is CLOUD Thonglor-Petchaburi. It's a tall building with a distinctive top. It looks like it might be a helicopter pad? At this time, the building stands alone, so it serves as a good landmark to get your bearings if you explore the maze of sois in the area.
Last but not least, if you're near Thonglor bridge during weekday mornings, check out the cheap eats at Liberty Plaza. The entrance is right next to where the red, soi bus parks. "Khao gaeng" (Thai curry) dishes are 40-50 baht. There's a food-to-order shop on one end. The vendors in the center change day-to-day. The last few months there's been someone selling "khao soi", usually on Thursdays. He charges 40 baht for chicken khao soi, and 70 baht for the beef. Good for the wallet; good for the heart! 😄
Quite amazing how you go though the path with one hand.
Very Nice to see your morning ride on the New Path from the Khlong Saen Saeb. 🙏
By the way I'm glad to hear my home towns are finally being developed
And looks absolutely amazing beautiful and the scenery looks great I
Absolutely appreciate you for filling this area.
An excellent jobs I love it and enjoyed.
Excellent bicycle video. Great to see the Khlong Saen Saeb this way.
The middle part up untill Thong Lo looks quite accessible apart from the things to prevent motorbikes 😅
The rest, good luck 😂
New revolution of BAGKOk beautifully congratulations
Beautiful and interesting area. Peaceful too.
Thank you for sharing. It's great that you are now able to follow the path.
Back on the bike again jereon,,,,,peace and happiness 😊😊😊😊
Jeroen, you made me reminiscent of my time of youth in Bangkok. Thank so much.
THANK YOU for sharing this. some of these places really brought back memories when i was in BKK. and i REALLY WANT to try "canal boat ride" .. i didn't know this was possible beside the chao phaya option.
ขอบคุณที่ถ่ายให้ชม นะครับ.
The water is so clean now, used be filthy and bubbling, smell really bad.😂. Loved Bangkok in the 80s, culture and fun, food was incredible, over touristed now and alot of character gone😢. Koh Samui is ruined, just decimated, used to be cocoanut island, i am so glad i experienced Thailand in the 80s. Great video though.👍🦘
At 24:58, there is a really nice coffee place with good atmosphere. If you are there when it's open, definitely give it a try
yes, a couple more feet of width makes all the difference, but it's kind of moot when the new space gets taken over by parked scooters and ad hoc storage space by the residents.
คลองแสนแสบคือของขุด ใช้แรงงานจากคนทางใต้ของไทย ตอนนั้นกลันตันยัง้ป็นดินแดนของไทย ใช้คนจากที่นั่นมาขุดคลอด สถานีรถไฟฟ้าจึงมีสถานีกลันตัน จุดนั้นเป็นชุมชนคนกลันตันที่มาขุดคลอดในบางกอกสมัยนั้น
Excellent vlog of the Khlong Saen Saeb. Very detailed and comprehensive. Thanks for showing us around Jeroen 😃👍🏼
The Other Side of Bangkok City...I Love it
Awesome bike ride!
News : The ceremony is part of “Luck Lock Love”, an event being held by the Expressway Authority of Thailand on February 14-18 and 23-25 to celebrate the month of love. The romantic backdrop is Thailand’s first cable-stayed bridge spanning the Chao Phraya River.
Visitors can expect live music performances, exhibitions and a feast of street food. The bridge’s middle section will be opened from 4pm to 10pm so the public can admire panoramic views of the River of Kings. (Credit : The Nation Thailand)
👍
Great video GTM. I have often wondered how the path was along Khlong Saen Saeb. I was trying to see if I could ride my bike from Suvarnabhumi to Wireless Road along this path when I come to BKK to bicycle tour. Hopefully they will widen the entire path along the khlong.
Thanks for sharing. Nice that you can follow the path now.
Beautiful
I often use the BTS to the National Stadium, the end of the Silom run and walk over to Klong San Saap near Jim Thompson's house. I use the klong to quickly get to the Old City near Wat Saket, the Golden Mount. You can get a tuk tuk to Chinatown or Grand Palace etc.
THANK YOU Jeroen for sharing this new video. Khlong Saen Saep canal Ride. 👍👍
nice trip tough, thanks for the tour
Thanks Jeroen! Always good seeing you on your long early weekend morning bicycle rides.
I really enjoyed this video. So wonderful to hear the Asian koel birdsong too!
I just shared your content with a bicycle community on Facebook. However, I have a concern about the use of the pathways. People who live close to the pathways seem to obstruct their proper use. I have noticed chairs, food carts, motorcycles, and clothes hanging, almost blocking the way. There are also several speed bumps and barricades, likely built by residents. Despite signs indicating that motorcycles are not allowed, they are still using the pathway. This goes against the original purpose of building the pathway for walking and cycling.
I don't ride the path but I walk it regularly and I hate the sections the motorcycles use. Please just give pedestrians and bicyclists one safe space (besides the parks) to use without having to be on guard constantly! But hey, not my country, I'll go with the flow :)
Nice video Jeroen about the new canal path, will try this out next time when I'm in Bangkok again.
Good morning Jeroen 👋
Going back about 20 years ago, I was familiar with Saen Saep Canal which had black, dirty water. It smells bad and there is garbage floating everywhere. Efforts to improve the canal and solve the problem of dirty water have continued until now. Saen Saep Canal is considered to have returned to new life. It will not return to the same bad condition as before.
Dank je Jeroen, dat was weer genieten 😊
Very nice and interesting tour you made😊
Love it.
33:50 Pedestrians can cross the canal at the gate but I don't remember if we have enough space to do it with a MTB... After this gate, you know that you can easily ride on the left side --> Mall Bangkapi, etc...
You can cross with the bike, no problem.
👍@@globaltravelmate
Great video! thank you 😍 Taking these boats (again) is definitely on my list next time I go to Bangkok. I tried it once 4 years ago, but only managed to get one stop 🤣We had to change boat and it was a bit confusing to figure which boat to use to get to our final destination + my friend had a bad leg so it was really tough to get off the boat since there were no stairs, so our boat adventure ended after 1 stop 😂 BUT will go again next time I visit.
you know more places than me lmao, and great video btw
Thanks for the update. So they finally fixed this small part. That makes nearly 17 km continuous as you can go 5k further than Bangkapi. So bad there are too many stairs along Petburi. The Ramkhamaeng area is much better for that.
Interesting video.
Usually I take the canal path from Bangkapi to Klong Ton then continue riding on Petburi Rd almost every day to work. After the new section opened I tried riding on it once. It’s nice but much slower than riding on the road.
Red bus tong lor was 5baht in Jan 2023 😊
They should one day build a bicycle path all the way to Chachoengsao where the canal meets the Bangakong river.Should be a beautiful ride.
🎉🎉🎉 enjoy and have a good day in Thailand.
I heard that the new parallel RAMA 9 bridge (at RAMA 3 road) will be ready for traffic in just a few months. Before the opening for traffic, they will allow people walk on the bridge, and see the view, and joy some memorable activities/festival such as food trucks, music, selfie, do marriage registration on the bridge, bring your own lock to make "Lock of Love" on the bridge.
(during 14-18 Feb 2024, and 23-25 Feb 2024, at 4.00 pm)
Cool, I'll try to be there.
Thank you very much. Would it be too much to ask for you to record a tour of certain parts of Bangkok every morning? I did it with Google Maps, but it's not updated. Please, fulfill my wish.
a very cool video
Thank you for visiting my hometown คลองแสนแสบ😢
Nice bike video as usual! Not that I would recommend it, but footage of you riding up that ramp and accidentally vaulting into the khlong would be spectacular.
I hope you have a Part 2 video going to the Bangkapi area.
I ride all the way out to Rat Phatthana, Saphan Sung yesterday on my electric unicycle and took both back to Chaloem Lok Bridge nice little trip..
out in the last part of the canal there are electric boats..
I have posted a short video on my channel...
Good job BANGKOK
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In dem"gelben"Tempel( Soi 63)leben die weißen Ochsen welche für die heilige Reis Zeremonie am Grand Palast den Pflug ziehen.
Tipp,fahre mal nach Bangkapi und gehe in die Mall.Du wirst sie nicht mehr wiedererkennen,
der Umbau ist wirklich gelungen.
LG
Danke fur der Tip, ich werde mir dem neuen Bankapi Mall bald mahl anschauen.
Great video, thanks for that update. I will be there next week and want to try that walk. Could you have continued walking along the khlong past that lock if you wanted, or do you have to detour around it?
You can cross and keep walking all the way to the Bangkapi Mall.
I'm worried about something. Houses that have direct access to the pathway might cause problems by blocking the way with stuff like food vendors and parked motorcycles. Without considering each other, they could take over the space quickly. This has happened in many places. I hope they realize the benefits of sharing and keep the pathways well maintained.
Nice ride bro 👍👍 , slow and steady burn your calories 💪
Which part is this one?
How abt Hua Lampong area cannal is it open n operating already? That route of cannal is very nice n beautiful
Let's me tells you about the Muslim seventhy years ago there was no Muslims in the city aspectlly khlong samsam makkasan because I was born khlong samsam almost 75 years ago.and my family still there my parents are gone but my siblings still there by the wooden house.on the right side from you videos.
Off topic. But is it true that Bangkok now has a tram from Victory monument to Siam park?
I think you mean the new Pink Lines system. You can take a BTS train to Wat Phrasri Mahathat station and then transfer to the Pink Lines train at this station to reach Siam Park.
@@weekdaycycling No I mean an actual tram. I looked up google map and it's showing a dark green line from Victory monument to Siam Park
Your footages are so smooth Jerome. Is it handheld or do you attach it to you bike?
I hold a gimbal with my phone in one hand.
@@globaltravelmate Thanks! Do you have any gimbal to recommend?
R U creating congestion?
Bangkok Admin.should do more OR the Riders such as you could join in
what camera are you using sir?
SAMSUNG S22 Phone
@18:35 if you had turned right there are a lot of new luxury houses been built along that road.
Also when you turned back onto the pathway at Thonglor half the path fell in to the klong about 2 or 3 years ago.
They left it to rot.
Those canals smell like a toilet. When you ride the canal boats toilet water splashes on you. Now it doesn't look so good. Don't worry there are plenty of good modes of transportation in Bangkok just not the toilet boats.
Absolutely beautiful Ride many obstacles to be avoided….was fantastic cheers mate from kangaroo 🦘 land
