Timeline
17:09
Start with strong coffee and a quiet chat at Ek Teng Phu Ki. The noisy, lively atmosphere is perfect for burning off early energy before the walk. The cafe is open from 05:00, so you have plenty of time to grab a seat.
17:39
Walk 9 minutes to Holy Rosary Church. Enter through the small street market from River City. Arrive with thirty minutes to spare to find a quiet corner inside or on the steps and watch the sky change color. The Portuguese-descendant community has kept this place alive since 1786, and the light hitting the facade is the main attraction.
18:24
Head to Three Sixty Lounge, just a 6-minute walk away. It is the ideal spot to end the evening. The 360-degree views of the Chao Phraya River and the city skyline are best enjoyed as the sun dips below the horizon. Live jazz usually plays, and cocktails are reasonably priced for the height.
Local tip
The church doors are open for visitors outside of service times, but check the schedule if you arrive right at 18:09. Services run at 06:00, 08:00, 10:00 on weekdays and 06:15, 08:00, 10:00 on Sundays.
