Looking for ideas for a birthday trip in Bangkok

Hi everyone,
My birthday is coming up at the end of July and I’m thinking about doing a two day trip to Bangkok.
I love traveling and my work becomes quite crazy lately, so I want this trip to be a birthday celebration and a chance to recharge myself. I’ve always wanted to try solo traveling so this would be my first solo trip also.
I’ve been to Bangkok twice before and love the city. Since I’ve visited most of the tourist attractions, this time I want to do something different.
Right now I have two ideas:

Option A: Make no plans and just go with flow. Wander around the city, spend time in cafe, and hopefully find a nice spot by the Chao Phraya River to watch sunset in the end. A good way to slow down and feel the city, though wondering if doing this for two days would be a little bit repetitive.

Option B: Take a day trip somewhere nearby, like Ayutthaya. It looks interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s worth making a special trip since I’ve visited quite a few Thai historical ruins before.

Also love to hear other ideas, like unique Thai experiences or birthday traditions. A lot has happened during the past year and it’s sort of a turning point in my life, so I want to celebrate this birthday in a memorable way.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

Just got the openrun pro2 for my first half marathon, anything i should know?

Just started training for my first half marathon and got myself a pair of openrun pro 2. Since they weren’t a cheap purchase for me, I want to make the most of them.
Any tips, settings or hidden features I should know?

ps. running advice is welcome too ( I’m still a very new runner)

TIA!!
