Timeline
17:19
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.
18:13
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.
18:49
Watch the sun set toward the WNW. The lake reflects the fading light, offering a rare moment of calm in the city.
19:34
Head to Ruen Mallika for dinner. The antique Thai house setting and leafy outdoor section provide a pleasant transition from the park.
20:49
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.
