Bangkok
River & city
Bangkok by its water: dawn alms rounds, a private long-tail through the Thonburi canals, dinner on a converted rice barge.
Day by day
A shape, not a schedule. Every one of these is rewritten around the people travelling it.
Arrive
A room over the river in Bang Rak. Nothing planned but a walk and a first dinner where the city eats.
Dawn on the water
Alms at six, then a long-tail into the Thonburi khlongs — the city that existed before the roads, still living on stilts.
The old town, on foot
Wat Pho, the amulet market, a shophouse lunch. Air-conditioned car meeting you whenever the heat wins.
Chinatown after dark
Yaowarat on foot: charcoal seafood, guay jub, the dessert cart that only appears after eleven.
Out, or on
A last morning at the flower market, then the airport — or north, and the trip properly begins.

Suppliers on this route are held to the standard published on the homepage. Where a place is on our list because we trust the person running it rather than because we have slept there ourselves, we say so when we suggest it.
