Khlong Saen Saep Boat Service Expected to Resume Within 48 Hours
Operators are using 26 boats to clear floodwaters from the Khlong Saen Saep canal, with services expected to resume in two days.
According to a report by Thai Post, the Khlong Saen Saep boat service operator, known as 'Lung Tua,' has mobilized a fleet of 26 vessels to accelerate the drainage of floodwaters from the canal. This effort follows recent heavy rainfall that necessitated a suspension of operations.
As of the latest update, the water level in the canal has receded by approximately 30 centimeters. The operator estimates that, provided the situation remains stable, the boat service could resume normal operations within 48 hours.
For residents and commuters who rely on this waterway for daily travel across Bangkok, this development is significant as it suggests a potential return to regular transit schedules soon. However, the operator emphasized that this timeline is an estimate based on current conditions. Travelers are advised to monitor official announcements from the Khlong Saen Saep boat service for the final confirmation of the resumption of services before planning their commute. The situation remains under continuous assessment by the transport team to ensure safety and operational readiness.
