Klong Ong Ang, a historic waterway once known as Bangkok's dirtiest canal, has discarded its stinky past to become a top visitor attraction in Bangkok, Thailand.

After five years of beautification, the canal is now filled with clear water, with both sides decorated with lush plants and modern lightings. Many tourists are attracted to the Ong Ang walking street on the weekend.
