Bangkok Parks, Street Food and Patpong Night Market

One of the most beautiful things that you can do these days when you are in Bangkok is to go out after sunset. Going out during the daytime is nearly impossible because the weather is super hot, unless you are going to spend it at the mall, which is not a good idea.

We are starting from Benjakitti Park and walking to Lumpini Park through the renovated green path. Without these green parks, Bangkok is not complete. The city is busy, crowded and noisy, so if you want to escape all these things, the only way is to come to these green parks, relax and recharge your batteries.

Benjakitti Park at Sunset

There are a lot of beautiful green parks in Bangkok, but today we are exploring the two most beautiful green parks. The first one is Benjakitti Park, and the second one, my favorite green park, is Lumpini Park, which has now been renovated. I think there is an event tonight, if I am not mistaken, so we may be lucky enough to catch it along the way.

As it gets dark, it is almost 6:35. Things become more beautiful, except for these annoying birds, as you know in Thailand, especially Bangkok. The locals call them ga-wao (annoying birds). They keep shouting day and night wherever you are. They are so loud, but that does not matter as long as you are enjoying these lively views.

Benjakitti Park is divided into two parts: the old park where we were at the beginning and the new park. Wherever you look, there are activities. Today is Sunday and most people are off, which is why it is kind of busy. If you pass by here on weekdays, it is much calmer.

Green Path from Benjakitti Park to Lumpini Park

Along the way, there are lots of signs that take you through the skywalk, the new renovated green path to Lumpini Park. You can walk from Benjakitti Park towards Lumpini Park, and after that to Silom, without taking any kind of transportation and while enjoying all these beautiful views.

You can see how beautiful the colors of the sky are at sunset time. This is the magic in Bangkok. During the daytime it is harsh and hot, and it is nearly impossible to walk. After sunset, it is one of the most pleasant things to do.

Just follow the path and you will not get lost. They were renovating this place for almost one year. One of the beautiful things that you can see while walking along this path is that on both sides you have classical old houses and narrow streets, while to your left and right you can see the high-rise Bangkok buildings. This is Bangkok, everything in one place.

It takes around 12 to 15 minutes to walk from Benjakitti Park towards Lumpini Park, depending on how fast you are walking. It will not take more than that.

Lumpini Park Evening Concert and Events

Welcome to Lumpini Park, my favorite park in Bangkok. There are lots of cars, and I think there is an event, if I am not mistaken. There are lots of activities at this park besides the sporting activities, and now it is much more beautiful.

“Big hands to our trumpeters.”

It is a beautiful Philharmonic Orchestra concert. I do not know how long it will continue, but definitely, if you are in Bangkok, check it. At Lumpini Park, there are always events, but this one is special.

The entrance queue is too long, so I will not enter. It seems that there is an event connected with Netflix, and there are lots of things happening. You will never get disappointed once you explore Bangkok after sunset, no matter the season. We are soon heading to Songkran, but whenever you explore Bangkok after sunset, there is always something happening.

Dusit Central Park, Street Food and Mango Smoothies

After these two beautiful parks, you need somewhere to relax and refresh yourself. Dusit Central Park is one of the best places, just opposite Lumpini Park. There are lots of restaurants and coffee shops where you can take something to drink or eat and enjoy these beautiful Bangkok views.

After sunset, the weather is cooler and breezier, and it is more pleasant to go out, especially in the hot season. The vibes are totally different. This is one of the famous street food sections. You can eat roti or khao man gai next to that fancy mall. This is Bangkok, a fancy mall after street food.

Here you have one of the best mango smoothies for only 60 Thai Baht. It is super hot, so keep hydrated. I waited 10 to 15 minutes. This woman is very famous, just next to that mall. It is really tasty.

Patpong Night Market After Sunset

Welcome to Patpong Night Market. You can see how busy it is. It is still celebrating Chinese New Year, and today is Sunday, so wherever you go it is full of people.

This is one of the best places to try your bargaining skills. Last time I was here, I bought a football T-shirt. I think I paid around 150 Thai Baht. Usually, when you ask the prices, they start four to five times higher than the price that you should pay.

If you want to practise your bargaining skills, this is the place. You can find lots of copy items of good and bad quality, and sometimes you might pay a lot of money for nothing.

Even though we are in the hot season and the weather is harsh, the action is on and the vibes are beautiful, especially after sunset in Bangkok.
