Thailand doesn't have a president, says enough about the quality of the news article and news paper.

Ah yes, the khlong boats.  And the wonderful aroma of the sewer-water they splash-through, which makes it worth going far out of the way to avoid them.  And by Bike - as in "bicycle"?  That's downright scary, in many areas - and harder to do, wearing a mask for the smog (or you will be coughing all night).  Then throw in the 'stop, frisk, and search' routine (no probable-cause needed) by the local cops. 

 

I would suggest anyone wanting to "tour Bangkok" do so by taxi.  There are many beautiful sights.  But biking through the insane traffic and motos, or khlong-boating through the open-sewer, are not recommended.

Nothing like a trip down Khlong Saen Saeb to make the risk of Covid-19 pale into insignificance.
