★★★★★a month agoBenjakitti Park is perfect for a Sunday sunrise walk. Very peaceful before the sun comes up. Great place for jogging or a slow walk. I accidentally bumped into a run club, lots of runners and sporty people around. Nice active atmosphere but still calm overall. Amazing views of Bangkok’s buildings reflecting around the park. The skyline looks especially beautiful in the early morning light. Well maintained paths and very clean environment. It is also very close to the convention center, which is convenient. A great spot to start the day with fresh air and good energy.

★★★★★a week agoMy favorite part is the Sky Bridge, that is perfect for evening walk and watching the sunset. The park gets very busy when everyone comes out for an evening run. You can also sit near the lake on the chairs or sit on a grass under the big trees. There are different places to explore, like playgrounds, dog park, wetland. And, of course, you will see monitor lizards 😉
