Bangkapi East
 |  |
| This is an undeveloped area in east Bangkok. Roads are in disrepair with many potholes, the area is roamed by goats and buffaloes. The open area extends over about 5km by 1 km. There are many shallow lakes which attract fishermen and picnicking families. Great fun for off roading- especially in the wet. You will likely see the local model airplane club testing out their kit here. Towards the eastern ring road is a large lake used by model power boat enthusiasts. Parts of the area strewn with litter and you will likely see some locals out burning [iles of plastic. Welcome to the third world. | |
Start here if coming from the centre of town. This is SriNakharin Rd just north of the junction with Krungthep Kritha road and Rankhamhaeng Soi 24. The sign reads Soi To Lim. Take this soi and follow signs to Bangkapi Youth centre passing over Hua Mak Noi Canal. From there follow track alongside the Youth centre (not the one towards the school on your right) heading east.  |  |
 The Bridge over Khlong Hua Mak Noi | |
 | Follow the track ahead for just over 1 km The road then swing round to right. Follow road bridges over a series of three canals. After another 1km look out for large school on your right, On reaching the first of two cross roads go straight ahead. At the second turn left and coninue back west for about 250 meters. The you will see the wooden bridge (view on left) Cross the bridge and immediately on your right follow the narrow khlong path for 50 meters until you see a small pedestrian gate in the wall beside a klong side shop. This gate gives access to Ramkhamhaeng Soi 118, a quiet series of roads leading north. |

Heading East to Rama9 circuit
 | |
| Alternatively, you can head out to the Rama 9 circuit. Ignore the school and keep heading east over another road bridge. Your aim is to get onto the klong path at the very end, as this offers a route under the Eastern Ring road beside Wat Lat Bua. Link to Rama9 circuit | |
