    Getting TO/AROUND: Bangkok and the Choa Praya river ... its hard to picture one without another. And to complement the trip, we decided to try out the river taxi's (well.. it wasnt the original ones taken by the locals as we hired one for a trip) but it was close enough. Anyhow.. from the Grand Palace, ask a guide and he would navigate you to the river. I cant quite remember how much it cost but it should be approx THB400.00 I think.The trip takes around an hour and stops at Wan Arun. And if you're lucky, you might get visited by some floating marketish influents as well!

    Getting TO/AROUND: I'm not kidding here.. all 5 of us actually fitted ourselves onto 1 TINY tuk-tuk and it moved!! Fortunately most of us were of Asian sizes but we did see many a tuk-tuk carrying 4-5 larger sized `farang's without any problems. If you're one for a dare - do not miss out on these absolutely enchanting way of travelling around Bkk.
    Word of advice though - NEGOTIATE the fare BEFORE entering unless you want to be scammed. Fares start from THB10 but should not be more than THB50. Otherwise you're better off taking the cab where its metered at least.
