I Grew Up Along Bangkok's Canals — Here's How Its Rich History Connects to the Forward-thinking City
"Visitors to Thailand can still find that old way of life on a canal tour of the Thon Buri district. On a recent Sunday afternoon, I joined a group of friends on one such excursion, boarding a boat from Saphan Taksin pier. We traveled through a quiet suburban neighborhood, stopping at the Paknam Phasi Charoen Temple, a landmark known for its 20-story-tall Buddha, which towers over its surroundings." - Mai Nardone
