Lab Mae Thong Luean Restaurant
Start with a late lunch at Lab Mae Thong Luean Restaurant. The kitchen closes at 15:30, so arrive early to enjoy a proper Thai meal while the day is still bright.
15:12
Walk to Cake Pound for a coffee and a sweet treat. This air-conditioned bakery is just a minute’s walk from the restaurant area and offers a quiet break before the main event.
17:37
Head to Sirichit Utthayan park. It is about 28 minutes from the anchor, but you will arrive here well before the golden hour. Use this time to settle in and find your spot facing the WNW.
18:08
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. From your vantage point in the park, the tall, gold-covered pagoda of Wat Phra Borommathat will glow in the evening light. The golden light begins at 17:37, peaking just before the sun dips below the horizon at 18:08.
18:53
Talat Tawan Daeng Kamphaeng Phet
End your evening at Talat Tawan Daeng Kamphaeng Phet. This market opens at 17:00 and stays open until 21:00, making it the perfect place to grab a drink or a late-night snack as the city winds down.
Local tip
The walk from the restaurant area to the park is long (28 minutes). Consider taking a taxi or local transport to Sirichit Utthayan to avoid walking in the midday heat.
