Urban Hike: 67: Lumpini - Sam Yan

Welcome Urban Hikers!

We're going to start in bustling Lumpini and wind our way around the Silom area discovering small sois and local neighborhoods on our way to Sam Yan. The blissfully cool weather lately will hopefully make this a very enjoyble walk!

This is an 8km hike between two MRT stations, and should take us about 90 mins walking at a brisk pace! We are starting and ending at the MRT to make it nice and convenient for you to join us!

We'll start at 8am and walk for about 90mins, ending at Sam Yan MRT around 9:30.

We will be walking quickly (well, as quickly as the size of our group allows), so please be prepared for as much of an "outdoor adventure" as we can manage on the busy streets of Bangkok! We will walk for about 90 mins (finishing around 9:30am), so there's no plans for a rest break, but as you can expect, we'll pass plenty of 7-11's and Family Marts if you need to stop in for an emergency drink.

If you haven't joined us yet please do! This is a great way to chat, take photos, and get to know one another. If you want to explore places more thoroughly along the way (or pick up some water, or stop for the toilet), feel free to stop your hike and explore - catching up with us later or meeting us at a later point on the map.

PLEASE NOTE: since the COVID-19 regulations have changed here in Thailand, we're not requiring hikers to wear masks. However, we recommend that you have them & wear them when we're in crowded locations, in line with local culture.

UPDATE YOUR RSVP: As usual, we have limited our numbers for this hike. We do this to make it more manageable to navigate with all of you. Please make sure that you will actually join us before RSVP-ing for this hike. And, of course, please update your RSVP if your plans change. We often have large numbers RSVP and not everyone shows up. Hopefully this will help us make better connections when we're hiking together too!

HOW THE WAITLIST WORKS: The waitlist will automatically move you up to “attending” if enough people cancel. This is why it’s important to change your attendance to “no” if you decide not to join after responding “yes”. This allows people on the waitlist to be bumped up in the order that they joined. Thank you!

RAIN: As always, if there is a light morning rain we will still walk, if it is a Monsoon chucking-it-down, flooding kind-of rain, we will cancel the hike.
