Bangkok’s ‘Do F***ing Nothing’ event returns to Benchakitti Park on August 1

Why your next Bangkok staycation should be in Phra Nakhon (not Sukhumvit, not Silom)
Most Bangkok locals haven’t been to the old city since a school field trip, and most tourists rush through it in half a day: Grand Palace, Wat Pho, photo, done. Both groups are missing the essence of Phra Nakhon, Bangkok’s historic old town on Rattanakosin Island. Phra Nakhon is a completely different city from the one you know on the…
