Eat grilled specialties and spicy papaya noodles while the day is still warm. The shop is open until 18:00, so you have plenty of time before the main event.

Walk to Khlong Hae Floating Market. Arrive just as the golden light starts at 17:50. The sun sets toward the WSW around 18:20, casting a warm glow over the stalls and the water. This is the best time to soak in the atmosphere before it gets dark.

Head to Bon Khao Restaurant for dinner. It is a short walk from the market. Enjoy good Thai food with a great view of the area as the lights come on. The restaurant is open until 22:00, so you can linger and let the evening settle in.
