Sixty-three Miss Grand International contestants from around the globe on Friday visited Bangkok’s famous canal, Khlong Ong Ang, in Phra Nakhon district prior to the pageant final round, which will be held on March 27 at Show DC Hall in Bangkok.

The canal recently won the 2020 Asian Townscape Award for Landscape Improvement Project.

UN Habitat Fukuoka selected Khlong Ong Ang as one of six places in Asia that demonstrated outstanding improvement in landscape, art, culture, safety and quality of life of people in surrounding communities.

Khlong Ong Ang weekend market and walking street opens Friday through Sunday from 4pm until 10pm. It features live music performances, street art exhibitions and a variety of products and street foods from local retailers, as well as a free kayaking trip in the canal.
