Key gubernatorial candidates examined express boat services in the capital today (Thursday) and met with residents, as they proposed policies to improve the livelihoods of people living along the canals, ahead of the highly anticipated election on May 22nd, the first in nine years.

 

Move Forward Party candidate Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn saw the boat services along Bangkok’s canals, with the aim of pushing for public boats to be used in canals.

Open up more canals and use water taxis as a means of reversing the road chaos.

Great, but considering most Thais appear to think anything outside the autos front left window or left of the handlebars is a rubbish bin, expect the river trash to explode expotentially !
