Back "streets" of Bangkok

I had a long hectic day in Bangkok today and visited many of the sights. I considered it to be way too easy to post a picture of one of these, so decided to show something not often seen. I went on a boat trip round the canals on the west side of the river, where many people live in small shacks built on wooden piers sticking out of the water. I'm sure there's some charm to this but frankly it looked squalid.
