Timeline
17:21
Grab a drink at La Fourchette. The open-air seating offers a relaxed start, and the French wines pair well with the cooling air.

Walk to Wat Chedi Luang. Use the separate entrance for foreigners, left of the main gate. Find a spot near the base of the massive chedi to watch the sky change.
18:06
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light fades from the temple walls as the day ends.
18:36
Head to Blue Diamond for a late snack or dessert. The garden seating is still open, and the huge selection of fruits and breads is a perfect end to the evening.
