Water is flowing

The areas canals don't operate year round. Generally starts in March, ends at different times.  Most likely dependent on supply on hand.
Canals are very popular for swimming 
April 13, 2005

The walls to the canal are quite steep, the water travels quite fast, ropes can be rented and can be used to avoid traveling down stream or to climb out of the canal.
Inner tube rentals are  available



March 6, 2017  are operational



April 4, 2013 the sluice gate was already shut down

It's somewhat of an accomplishment, considering that Huai Thalaeng  had won its first three games and had been number one in the league, and they had home field advantage.
