"Last year saw the expansion of Benjakitti Park on a downtown plot of land once used by the state-owned tobacco monopoly. The park’s new section uses wetland plants to cleanse water fed from nearby canals, and the former factory buildings have been converted into sports facilities." - Mai Nardone

"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

"Over the past several decades, concrete and steel replaced much of what was left of the greenery around Thailand's fast-growing capital. But with the opening of the new Benjakitti Forest Park, that's finally being turned around."

This is a terrific large centrally located park that has a multitude of amenities for both local residents and tourists to enjoy. The park includes bike lanes, walking trails, a skywalk overlooking a wonderful diverse wetland ecosystem and a dog park. The park is well maintained by City of Bangkok staff and there are several clean restrooms scattered within the park premises. This is truly an amazing tranquil oasis located in the heart of a bustling, noisy and immense urban area.

A well maintained park with beautiful flowers and a lovely huge pond, where we were allowed to float a boat on for free. .. We spotted wildlife; a squirrel, many Monitor Lizards, many birds, fish, a turtle. Good place for dog owners to walk their pets. There are a few seating areas and shade trees, a picnic would be good there.

I've been to Benchakiti Park 3 or 4 times, and I absolutely love it. The location is fantastic—an oasis right in the heart of the city. It's such a relaxing place, surrounded by beautiful nature. Spending time here is a delight, offering a peaceful escape in the middle of Bangkok's hustle and bustle. Highly recommend!

Benchakitti park is a wonderful escape with a large walking trail around the lake and plenty of trees and flowers. It is really clean and well maintained. There is also access to the trails through the themed forests, however the museum and trails close earlier than the park. This is a great place to come to relax, exercise, or spend time with friends and family!

Benchakitti Park in Bangkok is a peaceful escape from the city buzz. The park is lush with greenery, beautiful ponds, and shaded walkways, making it perfect for a relaxing stroll. You’ll find spots to sit and enjoy nature, with views of the skyline peeking through the trees. Great for families, joggers, or anyone needing a break. It’s clean, quiet, and close to central Bangkok—a hidden gem!

A huge park, like an oasis in the center of Bangkok. Impressive work of landscape designers - marsh vegetation, with many species of plants and birds, walking paths on two levels, a large lake and sports courts. I really liked the part of the park where the marsh landscape is, I was there in the dry season, but I imagine how beautiful it is when there is more water. The park is magnificent, when there is nowhere to rush - this is the best place.

I went on a rainy day and it was still such a wonderful experience. Really a breath of fresh air in the middle of this city which can sometimes be a little too hustle and bustle. I enjoyed the 🦆 (free!!) duck boats <3 They were more tiring than i thought since you power them with your feet but it was easy to control and a good family experience. It’s also super near the QSNCC if anyone wants to go there after. Highly recommend for anyone who just wants to take a stroll or find something relaxing to do over the weekend!
