Me at the grand palace
Bangkok is a city of many contrast. It is filled with beautiful palaces and temples. One could stay here a week and not see it all. But it is also a city of snarled traffic and a lot of poverty.

The Grand Palace certainly must rank as one the great sights in the world.

 You must have a big stamp on your forehead that says, "Take Advantage of Me" because I've lived in Bkk for five years and rarely have this problem with taxis....
