Timeline
09:00
Walk through the grounds of Suan Pakkad Palace. The five traditional Thai houses are best visited early to avoid the midday sun and crowds. Enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the art and antiques collection.
09:45
Head to Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice for lunch. This spot is touted as having Bangkok's best chicken rice. It is always crowded, so go early to secure a seat before the peak lunch rush. The air-conditioning is a welcome relief from the heat outside.
10:45
Stroll over to Pantip Plaza. Browse the six floors of computer gear and software. While the bootleg trade is more low-key than in the past, it remains a unique place to see the city's tech history and find niche software or DVDs.
