5:00 PM:

If your flight is later, enjoy an early riverside dinner at The Summer House Project (Tha Maharaj) with light Thai plates and a last view of the Chao Phraya while you finalise carry-on packing.

6:00 PM:

Take a slow stroll along the Tha Maharaj promenade and pick up any remaining small souvenirs from Tha Maharaj artisan stalls, or grab a coconut ice cream from a vendor for a sweet treat.

6:45 PM:

Return to the hotel for a final freshen-up and double-check luggage; ask reception to confirm your airport transfer time and arrange express check-out if available.

7:30 PM:

If you have extra time before heading to the airport, relax with a 30-minute foot massage at Health Land (nearby branch) to ease travel tension and prepare for the journey.

8:15 PM:

Pick up a takeaway coffee or snack from After You Dessert Café or a nearby café to enjoy en route, and collect any last-minute duty-free requests to hand to your driver.

9:00 PM:

Meet your pre-booked transfer or hail a metered taxi and depart for Suvarnabhumi Airport or Don Mueang Airport, allowing extra time for Bangkok evening traffic and airport procedures.

10:30 PM:

If already at the airport, relax at an airline lounge or browse King Power Duty Free for final snacks and souvenirs, then proceed to security and your departure gate with plenty of time to spare.
