Ms Yada is among tens of thousands of people who commute by boat on Klong Saen Saep, operated by Krobkrua Khonsong Co, each day. Following his death on Nov 10, Chaowalit Methayaprapat, who operates the Klong Saen Saep Express Boat Service, said Krobkrua Khonsong Co has a plan to improve safety on its boats. Boats on Klong Saen Saep run parallel to Ramkhamhaeng Road and Phetchaburi Road where traffic is heavy, especially during rush hours. On May 5, 2012, a Klong Saen Saep commuter boat heading to Phan Fa Lilat Bridge caught fire as it was passing Thong Lor Pier. A regular user of the Klong Saen Saep Express Boat Service will agree that extreme caution and good commuter boat etiquette when boarding should be exercised to reduce risks.
