The key elements of an old community or a neighborhood<br />

are made of ‘people’ who live and inherit the<br />

way of life as well as a ‘preserved cultural place,’ which<br />

is essentially a physical space that reflects the history<br />

of settlement and development of the community and<br />

contextually relates to local activities, ways of life, or<br />

functions as a place where local traditions/ceremonies<br />

take place, and a ‘physical identity, way of life and culture’<br />

which refers to certain specific physicalities or reflected<br />

characteristics of a community. ‘Khlong’ (Thai word for<br />

‘canal’) in the central region of Thailand is an interesting<br />

geographical area for many reasons and in many aspects<br />

from the ecology of the settlement and way of life to<br />

the rapid changes caused by urban development. Canals<br />

were once the main commuting routes people used<br />

for transportation and shipping goods. They connect<br />

people from different backgrounds and cultures as their<br />

presence gave birth to local communities be they agricultural<br />

communities that were the city’s main production<br />

sources or commercial neighborhoods that emerged<br />

around the areas where waterways intersected with<br />

different scales of transportation which were formed<br />

by the location’s context and environment.<br />

The working committee of Living with Khlong at<br />

Lak Ha Floating Market Community project became<br />

involved through the City and Community Rehabilitation<br />

Program (the program is funded by Crown Property<br />

Bureau, Community Organizations Development Institute<br />

(Public Organization) and the Association of Siamese<br />

Architects). The project aims to support two aspects of<br />

development. The first is to encourage and support<br />

generation professionals who are interested in working<br />

with the community by stimulating and encouraging the<br />

locals to be united for the strengthened conservation<br />

and management of resources within their community.<br />

The project also creates a platform for participative<br />

collaboration and exchange of knowledge between<br />

community members and outsiders. Additionally, the<br />

development and building of the next generation of<br />

professionals who are driven to work with the community<br />

and learn a collaborative and participative approach<br />

toward the working process where knowledge and<br />

opinions are critically and productively exchanged is<br />

also one of the objectives of this community rehabilitation<br />

project.<br />

“Lak Ha Floating Market“ is a community located in<br />

the area around Damnoen Saduak canal. Situated on the<br />

border between Ratchaburi and Samut Sakhon province,<br />

Damnoen Saduak is considered one of the area’s most<br />

important canals. It was first conceived from an attempt<br />

to dig a new communal route that would link Bangkok,<br />

Samut Songkhram and Ratchaburi together. During the<br />

reign of King Rama IV, Lak Ha was known as the most<br />

vibrant floating market. The Lak Ha locals often reference<br />

the images of the area being a renowned tourist<br />

destination, which had been used by the Thai Tourism<br />

Authority to create and promote the boom of this commercial<br />

neighborhood in the past. The fact is that Lak Ha<br />
