Klong Pasee Charoen is the first route to the west that our Spirit of Asia team is setting out to explore the historic memories of the residents on both sides of a canal that was funded by opium tax. And as the name suggests, the klong canal became the bringer of great prosperity and abundance. Today, the klong is lined by high-rise buildings and industrial factories. And yet, there remain some Pasee Charoen residents who are looking to revive the life of the waterways. They do have an ideal in mind, that what they are working towards may one day lead to what the city was once known as in times long past…the “Venice of the East”.
