Bang Pu Beach

Bangkok Region


It's less of a beach and more of a concrete seaside promenade. Nonetheless, as Bangkok's only 'seafront', this strip of public space attracts droves of city dwellers in the late afternoons and early evenings, when the setting is perfect for a brisk jogging session, snapping some pretty sunset photos, or simply idling away time while feeding the numerous seagulls who live in local avian colonies.
