About
Quick facts: Lush greenery spans over 50 acres in the heart of the city, creating a rare urban oasis. Visitors can explore a large lake framed by cycling and jogging paths that stretch nearly 2 kilometers.
Highlights: A striking feature is the elevated cycling track that loops above the park, offering panoramic views of Bangkok's skyline and the lake below. Around the lake, vibrant lotus flowers bloom seasonally, attracting colorful birds and adding to the serene atmosphere.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and light clothing since you'll be outdoors for a couple of hours.
- Capture the skyline from the elevated cycling track for stunning photo opportunities.
- Avoid weekends if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, as the park gets bustling with locals and tourists.
- Bring a refillable water bottle and snacks for a picnic by the lake, especially during sunset.
