If you're more of a park bench and people-watching kind of person, make a beeline for Santichaiprakarn Park. Located in Phra Athit Road, this small riverside park sits next to the old Phra Sumen Fort. The views of Rama VIII bridge as the sun sets are well worth a visit – plus, there’s usually a mix of locals and tourists hanging out, giving it that laid-back community feel. If you're lucky, there might even be some live music or a random street performance happening.
Phra Athit Rd, Chana Songkhram, Phra Nakhon. Open daily 5am-9pm. Closed Sunday
