The Khlong Saen Saep boat service is a water bus operating on the Saen Saep Canal in Bangkok through the city's commercial districts. The Khlong Saen Saep boat service has been in operation since 1 October 1990.[1]

The 18 kilometre route is served by 100 boats of 40-50 seats. It operates from 05:30 to 20:30 daily on weekdays (to 19:00 on weekends). Prices are 8-20 baht, depending on distance traveled. The service carries about 60,000 passengers per day. It is run by a company called Family Transport.[2]

On 25 February 2022, an extension of the old route was opened. 12 new electric boats work on the route from Wat Sriboonreung to Minburi district office.[3] The extension follows a different timetable and more modern boats.
