transport development in Bangkok witnessed a
rapid transformation from water based transport
to road based transport. Most of waterway
networks have been paved over with roads, citing
some widely known streets in the city like Silom
Road, Sathorn Road, Sukhumvit Road, Phloenchit
Road, for example. Since the ancient time,
the Thais of Bangkok used to have their way of
life around the river and canals [2]. In those days,
people preferred to build their houses on stilts
along the riverbanks and in boathouses as
presented in Figure 1 and Figure 2, as mentioned
by Sumet Jumsai, a leading and famous Thai
architect.
