on this note, did anyone ever go to the big gold buddah or whatever every tuk tuk driver around khao san tries to drag you too. I was sure it was some type of scam so I never did but I'm curious what it was.

Yes, I have been there a couple of times. It's the coolest gold buddha in BKK in my opinion because it is SOLID GOLD. That's Right. Not gold leafed like all the others. It's about 3 meters tall. Sick.

Don't drop cigrette butts on the floor near policemen. Instant 2K baht fine.

Hah.. yea the cops near MBK tried to get us on that one time. They just hang out waiting to bust people. My friend had some connections with higher ups in the Police Dept. We just showed them the business card and they let us go all laughs and smiles... good ol thailand.
