    Electric Canal Ferry to be Available for Phadung Canal in December

    BANGKOK(NNT) - The Deputy Governor of Bangkok has inspected the assembly of seven electric ferries that will be in service in December this year.


    Mr. Sakontee Pattiyakul, Deputy Governor of Bangkok inspected the assembly of the electric ferries that will ply Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem canal. The electric ferries will serve daily passengers who want to avoid congestion on the roads. In addition, there are also many tourist attractions along the line, so it will be easier to visit such venues. The ferry fee will be only 10 baht.


    The Phadung Krungkasem Canal electric ferry service will be a demonstration for Saen Saeb canal. In the future electric ferries will be available on Saen Saeb canal too, with the likelihood of expansion to more routes to cover the greater area of Bangkok.

    How many to be fried during the first accident?


    You'd wanna be brave to get on a Thai serviced and operated electric ferry.

    I wonder if the signs in English will say "10 Baht" though.

    I don't think smog is as electrically conductive as water.... slash water based sludge.



    Adding electricity directly to a khlong (when the 2 x 200 baht a day somchai captains collide while racing) might actually create some sort of Frankenstein Swamp Thing.

    ^ You're vastly underestimating Somchai and his mates.
