The Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem boatservice operates an 4 kilometre route on the Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem in Bangkok. The service was introduced in 2016 as part of the revitalisation program of Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem and to alleviate road traffic in the inner city area. It was the first boat service in Bangkok that operated with electric boats and initially operated with only 4 boats, each with a capacity of 12 seats, which ran from Hua Lamphong to Thewarat Market. This was later increased to 7 boats on the route. The service was suspended following the outbreak of COVID-19 in Thailand in 2020 and there was much debate on the economic value of reopening the route. On 15 March 2023, the boat service reopened with 8 boats, following redevelopment plans along the canal. ^[1] The service is currently operated by Krungthep Thanakom PCL, which is currently cooperating with King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi on the development of electric boats, seen as an effective way of reducing noise and pollution in the city. ^[2]
