It turned out to be a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, a great method of unwinding and experiencing the simple pleasures of life in these parts. We passed picturesque orchid and lotus farms, verdant orchards and field after field of ripening golden rice.

» It is one of the capital's oldest districts, but mention its name to a foreign visitor and the first association will likely be with the bustling backpacker belt centred on Khao San Road. But to native Bangkokians and long-time residents, a reference to Bang Lamphu may summon up the gleaming-white image of Phra Sumen Fort, its crenellated ramparts dominating the Chao Phraya River and the approaches to Thon Buri, or make them long for Phra Arthit Road and its artsy little cafes or nostalgic for the time they first explored these winding streets and alleyways back when they were students at nearby Thammasat and Silpakorn universities.
