Having never been to Venice, I would only be able to guess that it’s the same kind of story there as it is here in Bangkok. At least, when it comes to the canals.

One of the most often overlooked forms of transport available in Bangkok, at least by tourists, is the Khlong Boat. Khlong, in Thai, means “canal”, and in the same way as Venice relies on it’s canals for the transport of people and goods throughout the city, so did Bangkok.
