CityLife Chiang Mai har ett väldigt bra reportage om kanalen, som en gång i tiden var ett viktigt vattendrag i staden. Hela artikeln, klicka på färgade länken ovan. Här ett utdrag:
In the past Mae Kha Canal was used by residents of the city for transportation as well as fishing and agriculture; the banks of the canal were lined with farms, their produce feeding the city. Mae Kha Canal was also an important buffer against floods when the Ping River overflowed, keeping the moated city nice and dry. The water would flow through the complex of waterways year round, flushing away impurities and providing an important habitat for a thriving ecosystem both in the water and along its lush banks.

Och hemma vid ingången mer djur, en groda.
Superbra bilder. Men vad gör grabbarna som står på galler? Vildgotte
