Walking along a canal with nice art work and graffiti.
One afternoon, I decided to explore the canal near the temple with stray cats. Most old canals ok Bangkok has been filled up with earth and canals turned into roads. Some canals still survive to these days but people could no longer row their boats; these canals’ paths towards the rivers has been cut off by roads. So the water became stagnant and all fish disappeared.
Local authorities have been trying to improve the conditions along some old canals where people still live along these canals just like in the old days. A few years ago, art work and graffiti were very popular among new generations of artists. So, they participated in projects to improve the atmosphere along old canals.
I was quite surprised to see these old wall paintings and graffiti survived the hot and rainy months in Bangkok. I did wonder if the artists ever came back to see their work; they ought to be quite pleased that these paintings and graffiti are still in good conditions.
It’s fun trying to see the meanings and intentions behind these artistic works. These painters must be quite skillful and famous in their fields as their works reflected a lot of confidence. I didn’t know whether local residents enjoy seeing these colourful wall paintings everyday.
Local people might be fed up with people like me walking along the canal taking photos! There weren’t any coffee shops around, so I couldn’t contribute towards local economy. I saw some stray cats near the canal; I guess some people must be feeding these cats. Life along this candle is very quiet and simple. These local residents are quite lucky to have very nice setting with peaceful atmosphere.
Wishing you all a very nice day!
See you.
Thank you, friend!

It is a pity that this channel is not found, but I would like to walk and see those graffiti, they are art in its greatest expression, I think that local people sometimes do not value the work that beautifies the city.
thanks for sharing
Thank you very much.
Human nature is so creative. While we like to build things, we also care about design, and art. Lovely street art.
Thanks a lot. These were painted by famous artists.
