Only for hours, maybe even less.

Not official-looking.

Anyone can guess thre purpose?

Fishing???

(there is an upscale mall next to this place,  where they could sell their catch)

Hard to tell without a photo, 'A buoy rope' ?  what is that even ? The locals where I am put a rope across the Klong the same reason chickens cross the road, to get to the other side, especially if its fast flowing. Could have a net attached ??

It's a rope with buoys every 3 meters or so, the khlong is maybe 20 meters wide.

They  don't use it to get to the other side. 

I couldn't see whether there is a net attached or not.

They don't do this often.

is it to stop flotsams and plants from growing on the water where they want to be pretty? 

I don't think so 

They have a whole flotilla of electric BMA boats that regularly patrol and clean the khlong. 

And they have some "flotsam traps" installed,  helps a lot.

There can be be work upstream or this is needed for work in the klong itself.

Makes sense.  Like a police line.

Passing boats are actually a bit reluctant to cross it (they do cross it anyway).

Thx, smart answer
