    Pala Pizza Romana

    Grab a casual dinner at Pala Pizza Romana under Asok BTS. The atmosphere is busy but the pizza by the slice is great value and quick.

    Benjakiti Park

    Walk 36 minutes east to Benjakiti Park. Arrive just in time to find a quiet spot by the water as the sun begins to dip.

    Benjakiti Park

    Watch the sun set toward the WNW. The lake reflects the fading light, offering a rare moment of calm in the city.

  4. 19:34

    Ruen Mallika

    Head to Ruen Mallika for dinner. The antique Thai house setting and leafy outdoor section provide a pleasant transition from the park.

    Long Gun

    End the night at Long Gun. It is reputed to be the oldest go-go bar outside of Patpong, offering a less frenetic atmosphere than the newer clubs.
