Bangkok: Wat Saket
Took at Tuktuk here from Wat Po for 30Bt. all of the drivers started at 80 Bt asking price and some tried to lower it to 50Bt if I would make one shopping stop. No way was i going to fall for that old trick. I hit a deal on the fifth driver.
Nice views from atop a 300 foot hill surrounded by a large temple area. 10 bt donation. Breeze felt good up here, but not much to see inside the temples except for some murals.
I walked about a block or so away to Klong San Sap and caught a water taxi back to the stop just a little ways past the Jim Thompson House and a long block away from the National Stadium.
From there I took the Skytrain to Chit Lom and went up to the Loft inside Central Chidom for a mango smoothie and banana crepes.
