If you are looking to combine an activity with a meal, how about shrimp fishing (also referred to as prawn fishing)? All over Bangkok you can find these local eating places where you are permitted to fish your own shrimp. While it may look a little sad and feel a little bad, it seems to be a pastime that calls for reflection and meditation. With an hour passing by and only catching 1-2 shrimp, you really need to take your time and just go with the (lack of) flow. You pay per the hour for the fishing, can have the shrimp you fish prepared for you and can also order other dishes.
The mentioned shrimp pond may be a little out of the way if you are located in the city center, but you can google nearer ponds.
