Tuk Tuk? You Want Tuk Tuk?

Well, everything's a good price in Bangkok. From the street-vendor pad thai for 25 Bahts(=.75USD) to the 15 mins metered taxi for 60 Bahts (1.90USD), everything is jaw-droppingly cheap. Immediately after leaving the airport, mistakenly arriving at Khao San Road, I exchanged my 150 USD's for Thai Baht. In return, I got crisp, not even one slight crinkle Bahts. With the exchange rate of 33.3 Baht per 1 US Dollar, I had literally a wad of cash that my wallet could not even close. Talk about monopoly money.

Spending only four days, I went to Khao San Road (the backpackers' haven, they call it), ziplined through the forests/jungles, ate savory and sweet street foods in plastic bags that will probably give me cancer, petted a baby tiger, baby crocodile, and ginormous elephant, walked through a line of loitering prostitutes, was assisted by ladyboy-waitresses/ers, took off my shoes (again. Note Seoul) in order to step into an establishment, raided a 7-11 for midnight snacks, played calculator-bargaining war with street sellers, unknowingly taken to a tailor shop by a tuk tuk driver, and finally, was repeatedly offered a ping pong show (Wikipedia has a more than necessary description). Bangkok: check. Exhaustion: check.
