Old Town Activities

This was an itinerary I put together for a relative who was possibly going to spend some days in Bangkok's Old Town before meeting back up with me for a trip south.

*Check-in hotel
*Enjoy Khao San Rd and Soi Rambuttri in the evening or grab food on the street and recover at hotel.
*You could always sneak out for a massage.

June 24 (Sat)

*Walk to Loha Prasat Temple - I would get there by 4:30 PM.  Leave by 5:15 for Wat Saket, which is nearby.
*Wat Saket (Golden Mount Temple) - I would be up top by 6 PM latest, then wait for sunset
*Thipsamai for Pad Thai
*Mont Nom Sod for custard
