[fil]

hi
is this a worthwile touristy trip?
where does it end and what stops are interesting along the way?
thanks

[Betti]

my friend in BKK used to live near the canal and it was the quickest to take when he went to the centre in peak hours. I went along a couple of times. no idea where it ends.
it is definitely worth it if you want to look at life by the canal. which btw smells and looks like an open sewer. careful that the water doesn't splash all over you.

thanks for the replies, how long will a total return trip take?
i see all te sops there which ones are actually worth a stop?

Bobae is a must stop for clothing shoppers. It makes Pratunam seem like Harrods! Being a "wholesale" market, many vendors will only sell in lots of 3 or more.

Don't forget your earplugs.

I do! It's between Klong Tan and Ramkhamhaeng with a number '3' after it.

I'm currently staying by The Mall, have been since mid-November and on the visits I've done there I wasn't impressed. Much prefer BigC at Latprao about 10 minutes down the road.

David, The Mall Bangkapi is about 6 more docks past The Mall 3. Here's a site with pictures of the dock signs. The link I give below is at The Mall Bangkapi. Above the picture section there's a listing of other docks you can click on (adjust bar on right if needed). It's in Thai, so I've cut those from The Mall 3 to The Mall Bangkapi and added the English here so others can see what's what.
