Around Bangkok

Bangkok is divided by a river and much traffic of all sorts occurs via boat. You can get a 100 baht ticket for taxi traffic for the day which takes you to all the major attractions in central Bangkok. Notice the water hibiscus in the water. Apparently, the queen found this water plant on a trip to Indonesia many many many years ago. She brought it back for her gardens in the royal palace which is adjacent to the river. Well, now it is a nuisance as it has found its way into the Chao Praya and is clogging up river traffic.

The second picture is from the MBK food center. You buy tickets and for 100 baht ($2.85 USD) you can have a great dinner. The shopping here is unbelievable.
