Benjakitti Forest Park – Bangkok

[maik 444]

Benjakitti Park is a green oasis in the middle of Bangkok, near the lower Sukhumvit Road. So has it been for many years.
Recently, the area of the park has even tripled beyond the tobacco company's old grounds. The new park includes a skywalk.
Open every day 16:00-20:00.
































We need a green area like this in Pattaya.

Looks like a beautiful park. Agree, wish we had something like it in Pattaya. Probably closest are the paths going up and around the Pattaya City sign and the view point.

BTW, Google reports different opening hours. Checked as I thought the 16:00 in your post might be a typo.

The park opening time is definitely 05:00 to 21:00 (same as all the other public parks in BKK). By the way, Benjakitti Park is actually three different parks - 

The original Benjakitti Park runs from Ratchadaphisek Rd to Sukhumvit Soi 10. This is the best park and the one with the lake.

Benjakitti Forest Park opened in 2016 on land released by the Tobacco Monopoly and runs from Soi 10 towards Nana. https://bk.asia-city.com/events/news/central-bangkok-got-61-rai-park-year-and-no-one-noticed  

Benjakitti Forest Park Expansion is the one recently opened and runs from Nana area to Soi Zero. This is a massive area and is the one shown in the "skywalk" photos above.

When I visited Bangkok last year, I fell in love with Benjakitti Park. Now I am back and the park has developed and looks even better.
