I always get sick whenever I swim in the local 5 star hotel pool, let alone in the BKK river network (rat highway).

Ok, thanks.

How are they going to blame foreigners for the dirty water 

They didn't. They won't.

Bore off.

the canal’s extreme pollution and the potential health hazards

Harmful toxins can be adsorbed through the skin. Aside from the mouth, eyes and nose are also pathways into the body.

30 years ago no problem.

When I first got here 40+ years ago it looked really bad then.

Back when Bangkok was known as The Venice of the East did it actually have a proper sewage system? Although I suppose the population would've been massively smaller in those days.

Not sure. But the pop you lay shun was a fraction of today. So, in theory, the waterways were cleaner and, since they were used for transportation much more extensively, one would think more love was bestowed upon 'em.

What just dove straight into the water not knowing what was in there or the depth, could have been empaled on any old iron bar. Total lunacy 

Now THAT woulda been a helluva video. Think Running Man.

 

Guy was high on kratom, acaii berry smoothies or some such.
