The 20 Best Things to Do in Bangkok
"Benchakitti Park has been around since 1994, but its brand new, 120-acre expansion makes it the most beautiful green space in the city. The ecological forest park's blossoming lotus ponds and mounds of earth make it a prime place for locals to take wedding and graduation photos. The plethora of winding walking trails, bike lanes and the 1.2-mile elevated skywalk are ideal for early-morning or late-afternoon exercise sessions. The skywalk's elevated view of the variety of sprouting trees, flowers, and wetlands creates a serene space with a skyscraper backdrop. The skywalk leads to various sites, including the park’s museum, amphitheater, sports building, and a mangrove forest. The park is free to use and a calming nature reprieve from the steamy concrete jungle that is Bangkok." - Diana Hubbell, Katie Lockhart
