Start with a coffee or tea at Bloomin' Moon. It is just a short walk from the anchor and opens early enough to secure a seat before the evening rush.

Walk to Nong Buak Haad Park. The park is the only public space in the old city where locals gather for evening activities. Find a spot near the cafe or massage shop inside the park to watch the sky change.

Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light begins around 17:35, providing a soft glow over the park before the sun dips below the horizon at 18:06.

End the evening at The Moat House. Head to the rooftop bar for a chilled-out atmosphere with a long list of cocktails and beers while the city lights come on.
