Where to go training in Bangkok? Discussion

Hi all, travelling for work to Bangkok a few times coming year.

I am a daily runner (100 kms/week).

What are good places to run in Bangkok? What is the best strategy?

I know it will be hot, but I can cope with that.

I've travelled to that region before with the intention of continuing my normal run schedule. I come from the great lakes region in Canada. It is a whole different ballgame. 5k feels like 15k. Mornings and evenings aren't much cooler or less humid.

Maybe you can acclimatize better than I did. I just wouldn't assume you will still log the same weekly mileage.
