There are guys who hang around the Grand Palace who advertise boat road tours around the canals in BKK. They ask for 500 baht for a trip that costs the locals 50 baht. There is a huge sign at the ferry station telling people not to buy these tickets. The tour takes you around some canals. You see some slums and children swimming in the water. Later on an old Lady approaches you in a boat and try's to sell you a beer. At that point your guide announces
Flouting market. Which is bullshit since when did one person in a boat selling beer become a flouting market.
He finally docks you near Wat Po. The guy who helps you get out of the boat asks for a 75 baht landing fee and then tells you Wat Po is closed for renovations and suggests you take a massage at Cupidity for 3000 baht.
