These are my highlights: 1: The butterfly garden: Although it was disappointing, since there were almost no butterflies, the main building has air conditioning. 2: The man who sells coconut water: He is located on the middle road, a few meters south of Bangkok Exercise Center, which is located in the park. He is friendly, the coconut water is delicious sweet and iced cold. He sells out of a truck and he said he is there 7 days a week, 7am to 7 pm. 3: Bathrooms: there are many and they are clean but the one located near the butterfly garden is the cleanest. I literally could have sat on the floor and be okay with it. A Thai woman is charge and she keeps it spotless. Tip: walk barefoot on the grass the relax and...
