Why this trip
Bangkok is loud, hot and big, and that is exactly why you need fitness here: if you explore temples and markets on foot, you end the evening with more kilometres than you suspect. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha lies in the centre, and the King Power Mahanakhon offers a view over the sea of houses from the roof. For active travellers there is a calmer alternative: an elephant sanctuary project on the edge of the city focuses on observation instead of riding, and the Royal Golf & Country Club shows that sport also has room in the city. In addition, canals can be explored by boat.
Heat and humidity are a challenge for fitness in the city. Start early, use boats and the Skytrain for long distances and plan breaks in air-conditioned rooms. That way there is still energy left in the evening for markets and street food. From November to April the air is drier and the heat more bearable.
Chiang Mai, Krabi and Koh Jum lie ready as neighbours, for hikes, climbing routes or calmer island days. How many days you plan in the city is something you discuss in the video call.
