Feed the seagulls & enjoy the sunset
Bangpu Recreation Centre is a popular spot in Samut Prakan where BKK residents usually come to chill out, thanks to its relaxing surroundings and a wide range of seafood restaurants nearby.
During winter, the place is filled with thousands of seagulls that migrate from Siberia to warmer climates. You can bring your camera here to capture pics of the seagulls.
Moreover, you can buy bird feed from ฿20 (~USD0.57)/bag to feed these seagulls upon your visit. Please note that it’s best to feed them on the both sidewalks of the bridge, instead of throwing food on the road.
You can rewrite to something like: If you visit the centre in the late afternoon, you can stick around and be rewarded with a fantastic 360-degree panoramic view of the sunset.
