Salvatore Pisanu
★★★★★a year agoVery nice for a walk after the sunset watching the colourful boat travelling on the river, under the bridge with the yellow light. There are several restaurant in the nearest for to eat too. For to visit the monuments need to be there during the day time.
stephen davis
★★★★★a year agoA small park, yet well worth a visit with epic views of the Rama VIII bridge, day and night. Watch the boats on the river while relaxing on a bench in the shade. Well cared for lawn and landscapes. Security cameras and personnel make this a very safe park. The temple can only be viewed from the outside. There are restrooms to the right of the fort.
