  • 26 SEPTEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Khlong Toey runs along Khlong Toey Market in Bangkok. Khlong is the Thai word for canal. This canal used to go all the way to the old imperial center of Bangkok but has been filled in now. This stretch of the canal is used for waste water from the market. Khlong Toey (also called Khlong Toei) Market is one of the largest "wet markets" in Thailand. The market is located in the midst of one of Bangkok's largest slum areas and close to the city's original deep water port. Thousands of people live in the neighboring slum area. Thousands more shop in the sprawling market for fresh fruits and vegetables as well meat, fish and poultry.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

The Bang Luang neighborhood lines Khlong (Canal) Bang Luang in the Thonburi section of Bangkok on the west side of Chao Phraya River. It was established in the late 18th Century by King Taksin the Great after the Burmese sacked the Siamese capital of Ayutthaya. The neighborhood, like most of Thonburi, is relatively undeveloped and still criss crossed by the canals which once made Bangkok famous. It's now a popular day trip from central Bangkok and offers a glimpse into what the city used to be like.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

Most of the monks from the temple use boats to go from house to house on their alms rounds. The Thai countryside south of Bangkok is crisscrossed with canals, some large enough to accommodate small commercial boats and small barges, some barely large enough for a small canoe. People who live near the canals use them for everything from domestic water to transportation and fishing. Some, like the canals in Amphawa and nearby Damnoensaduak (also spelled Damnoen Saduak) are also relatively famous for their "floating markets" where vendors set up their canoes and boats as floating shops.

  • 10 JULY 2011 - AMPHAWA, SAMUT SONGKRAM, THAILAND:   A Buddhist monk from Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram in Amphawa, Thailand, about 90 minutes south of Bangkok, approaches a home on the main canal during his alms round. Most of the monks from the temple use boats to go from house to house on their alms rounds. The Thai countryside south of Bangkok is crisscrossed with canals, some large enough to accommodate small commercial boats and small barges, some barely large enough for a small canoe. People who live near the canals use them for everything from domestic water to transportation and fishing.

  • 22 MARCH 2018 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Wat Lat Phrao (left) along Khlong Lat Phrao, the homes on the right side of the khlong (canal) are being demolished. Bangkok officials are evicting about 1,000 families who have set up homes along Khlong  Lat Phrao in Bangkok, the city says they are "encroaching" on the khlong. Although some of the families have been living along the khlong (Thai for "canal") for generations, they don't have title to the property, and the city considers them squatters. The city says the residents are being evicted so the city can build new embankments to control flooding. Most of the residents have agreed to leave, but negotiations over compensation are continuing for residents who can't afford to move.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
