Since the end of 2020, Klong Phadung Krung Kasem has seen a number of improvements, in particular the introduction of electric passenger boats along the Thewet Market Pier to Hua Lamphong Pier stretch.
Around February of 2022, landscape improvements will start along just over a kilometre of the banks of the canal in Hua Lamphong from Kasasuk to Charoen Sawat intersections, with the aim of making the area an attraction for both residents and tourists.
