Below is the view from my hotel room. I took a trip on a longboat on the canals. I bargained down the price from 1400 Bht to 800 but I'm still sure I got ripped off. In Bangkok, I constantly had to be on guard to avoid being taken advantage of as a tourist.

Last photo from the park of the Temple of Heaven. It's a gigantic park with many old trees planted and cultivated too regularly to look like a real forest.
