One of the inhabitants of the Khlong Saen Saep told me: “…I have lived all of my life along the Khlong Saen Saep. Around 10 years ago, all of my neighbors and I used to fish in the canal for feeding our families. Since the express boat service started, the fish decreased and when we were able to catch one, it smelled and tasted as the oil from the boat. We stopped fishing here, and I am sure you cannot find any more fish in the canal…” He seemed nostalgic, and we could see the dusty fishing nets that serve now only as a decoration in his house.
