The Four Wings Bangkok

... in the thunder &amp; lightening storm. Let&#8217;s just live on the edge. <br><br>The water taxi took us back across the river to where we could get back on the bus. After we negotiated our way off of the boat &amp; up the dock (that was not an easy feat) we had to walk through an air conditioned mall to get to the bus. Some of the ladies found a clothing store &amp; a silk jacket or 2 were purchased in the 8.25 minutes we had before the bus arrived. Talk about ...

So the öfficals" as they like to call themselves decided to bargain... first down to $200 baht, then $100 baht. We refused and argued for a good 45 minutes, with no headway.
