The longtail fares are very modest...10 baht [about 30 cents] per person and 10 baht per bike. Of course, no safety vests...
Phra Phradaeng is like an up-country village planted in the heart of Bangkok...slow pace, light traffic, fruit and vegetable gardens. Much to like here. The small National Park in Phra Pradaeng had a barricade up and a sign claiming entry not permitted...I'll going back soon and see if I can sneak in.
