Timeline
16:00
Grab a coffee and settle in at Bloomin' Moon. It is just a four-minute walk from Nong Buak Haad Park and opens at 07:00, so it is ready for an early start. Use this time to plan your spot on the grass.
16:55
Walk to Nong Buak Haad Park. It is a short stroll from the cafe. Find a spot on the grass where the sun sets toward the WSW. The park is the only public space in the old city where locals gather in the evening, so you will be surrounded by the local atmosphere.
18:00
Head to Hong Tauw Inn for dinner. It is a five-minute walk from the park. The restaurant has a high ceiling with fans and a colonial atmosphere that feels like a clock museum. The food is affordable, with most main dishes costing 80-120 baht.
Local tip
The park is open for evening strolls, but the cafes nearby have specific closing times. Hong Tauw Inn closes at 22:00, so finish your dinner before then.
