Timeline
15:38
Start with a leisurely lunch at Ruen Mallika. The staff wear traditional Thai outfits and the menu is a huge picture book, making it easy to order in the quiet early afternoon light.
16:53
Walk 14 minutes to Benjakiti Park. Arrive here as the golden hour begins around 17:38. The lake and semi-wild vegetation offer a rare expanse of public greenery in the heart of the city, perfect for watching the light shift over the water.
18:08
End your evening at Silom Sauna. It is open until midnight, giving you plenty of time to cool off in the cold water plunge after your walk.
Local tip
Ruen Mallika is open until 23:00, so you have ample time for lunch before the golden light fades.
