Klong Lat Phrao will be the first canal targeted and developed so that the city can launch boat services to help alleviate traffic in the area, Adisak said. There are more than 200 families encroaching along the 23 kilometre Klong Lat Phrao stretching from Don Muang to Rama IX.
The other eight canals are Klong Prem Prachakorn, Klong Bang Khen, Klong Sam Wa, Klong Lat Bua Khao, Klong Phraya Montri, Klong Bang Sue, Klong Prawet Burirom and Klong Phra Khanong.
