The route
* Approximate route — see the exact path in Google Maps below
If you have only half an hour, the loop around the Grand Palace is the answer — high white walls, Wat Pho, and the riverside at Tha Tien, in two kilometres you can lap again and again.
Before the palace gates open
The best window is before first light — empty streets, no tourists, just you, the white walls, and the sound of your own footfall.
What you'll see
- The white walls of the Grand Palace
- Wat Pho and Tha Tien
- Wat Arun from the riverside
Before you go
- Go before 6:30 AM while the streets are empty
- A short loop — run several laps
- Combine with Sanam Luang for distance
