Khlong Ong Ang (Canal Walk)
I walk Khlong Ong Ang before any major research period. It clears my sense of scale. You can grasp the original city in a single hour on foot.
The inner defensive moat of Rattanakosin island, dug in 1783. Now a canal-side walk. The canal itself is the original city perimeter — walk it and you're tracing the first map of Bangkok.
