    Getting TO/AROUND: Another sort of water taxi, this one was just to cross the river over to Wat Arun. It should cost 2Baht. They try to charge foreigners more. This really annoyed me and my friends and it is not about the money, of course. If they want to charge more they should do it openly and honestly, with a sign informing you of it. Like with entrance fees for temples etc. instead of hoping to 'catch you out'. They didn't catch us out... which they then dealt with by smiling/laughing... the Thai way of dealing with an uncomfortable situation.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Make sure the taxi driver turns the meter on! Mine did so only grudgingly after I had noticed it was still off!! Very cheap though 40Baht for a trip that would cost me 10x that in Japan.
    Tuk Tuks: You will need to agree on a price before you get in. Then, get ready to guzzle FUMES!! Fun for a short trip and do what we did, choose an older calmer wiser driver. Ours (pictured) was lovely, so smooth around the curves and safe.

     Excellent tips and pics on Bancock. I'll pass on the scorpians, cockroaches, and spiders (oh, my!) But the film crew story was pretty cool.
