1 Day, 4 Stops, Endless Coastal Vibes
Explore 4 Epic Stops in Samut Prakan: Just a BTS Ride Away
Most people know Sukhumvit as Bangkok’s high-end avenue filled with condos, malls, and gourmet cafés. But here’s the twist: this legendary road actually stretches far beyond the city, cutting through famous coastal provinces all the way to the Cambodian border. And right next door, in Samut Prakan, Sukhumvit transforms from urban buzz to sea breeze.
Ready to see a whole new side of Sukhumvit? Let’s go coastal and cultural all in one day.
Your 1-Day Escape Plan:
- Erawan Museum
Start your day under the massive three-headed elephant statue. Inside, it’s a wonderland of sacred art, surreal staircases, and spiritual vibes. Perfect for museum lovers, art fans, and anyone into a little “mystical energy.”

The Three-Headed Elephant from the Outer Wall : Even from the outside, this iconic sculpture commands awe and wonder.
Inside Erawan Museum’s Grand Hall : Step into a world of intricate carvings, spiritual symbols, and sacred beauty.
Peaceful Stupa in the Erawan Garden : Take a break among greenery and quiet elegance in the museum’s serene garden.
Erawan Night Market by BTS Station : End the day with street food, local finds, and fun vibes right by BTS Erawan Museum Station.

3.Bang Pu Seaside Resort
Craving sea air and sunset views? This retro-style seaside spot is where locals go to relax. Walk the long pier, snap pics with swooping seagulls, or just watch the sky melt into the ocean.
Birdwatching Tower at Bang Pu : Start your seaside trip here. It’s where serious birders set up before heading to see the famous seagulls.
Diverse Birds in the Mangrove Forest : Catch sights of both native and migratory birds, captured from the birdwatching tower.
Evening at Sukta Bridge, Bang Pu : Walk toward the sea as the sun sets and grab a bite at the seaside Sala Sukjai restaurant.
Seagulls in the Sunset, Bang Pu : Wings in the wind, sun on the sea. A peaceful moment worth the trip.
Cargo Ship Sailing Out to the Gulf : From the bridge, spot giant ships sailing out through Pak Nam into the open sea.
4.Samut Prakan Tower (currently under renovation)
End your trip with skyline views from the observation tower or drop by after sunset for the nighttime light display. Bonus if you’re visiting on the 1st or 2nd of the month: there’s a lively night market full of street food and local flavors.
