Benjakitti & Lumphini Parks: 4K Sunrise Walk in Bangkok

Benjakitti and Lumpini Parks in Bangkok during an early morning 4K walking tour

What does Bangkok look like at 5 in the morning?

In this 4K walking tour, we start in the darkness of Benjakitti Park, explore its peaceful forest walkways, and cross the Green Bridge to Lumphini Park as the city slowly wakes up.

Along the way, we encounter early-morning runners, curious cats, beautiful sunrise views and the first signs of Bangkok’s busy street life.

It’s a 2-hour and 13-minute walk, taking you from the quiet of nature into the heart of a waking city.
