Bangkok Parks

Bangkok is not just a big city full of fumes, skyscrapers, malls, traffic and pollution. There are quite a few parks scattered around the city, providing Bangkok residents with uncontaminated air and lots of healthy outdoor activities in lush, landscaped areas. Most parks come with sport facilities such as a tennis court, swimming pool, football pitch and other amenities you can take advantage of for a very small fee. Not into physical exertion? Bring your family along for a picnic or take the children for a ride on the paddle boats.

Lumpini Park, Bangkok

If all the late-night gallivanting, sightseeing, and debauchery is catching up with you, and the relentless buzz of the city is making you slightly delirious, maybe a walk in the park will offer some perspective. Lumpini Park, Bangkok's oldest and largest park, is an inner-city haven of tranquility, fresh air and shade - offering city dwellers the perfect connection to nature. (Read more)

Chatuchak Park

Located right next to the Chatuchak Market, Chatuchak Park is a haven for health conscious people living in the northern side of Bangkok. There are something for everyone at this park; some may walk or jog along the green tracks line or appreciate the beauty of nature in the Thai Literature and Herb Garden.

Others prefer to look at the fish from the bridges over the pond, or to row a boat on a pond. Recently, the old railroad golf course adjacent to the park's north end was turned into a public park too, with many tennis courts and soccer fields available for anyone to use. While you're there, make sure not to miss the Train Museum and Youth Traffic Garden.
Location: Kampaengphet 1 Road, Chatuchak

Santiphap Park

Sitting right in the middle of the Victory Monument area, Santiphap Park may be smaller than other parks in Bangkok, but it's packed with activities, most of which are music-related. People sitting and enjoying the soft sound of Jazz while watching their children play is a common sight in this park.
Location: Between Ratchawithi Road and Rang Nam Road, Ratchathewi

Sanam Luang

Situated at the heart of old Rattanakosin city, Sanam Luang (the Royal Field) has been in existence since the founding of Bangkok (around 200 years ago).The area was also known as 'Thung Pra Meru' (Royal Cremation Ground), because it was originally used for royal cremations up until the reign of King Rama III, when the king decreed that all cremations be held outside the old city walls.

Surrounded by famous attractions such as the Grand Palace, Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the National Museum, National Gallery, the Supreme Court, and Ministry of Defense, Sanam Luang is a gathering ground for various activities throughout the year. Take part in the kite flying festival around March and see a plethora of colours in different shapes and sizes floating in the sky. Alternatively, have a family picnic in breezy late afternoon while watching an exciting game of sepak takraw (Asian football).

You can also feed the pigeons, or even have your fortune told! The Royal Ploughing Ceremony in May marks the start of the new planting season. It's when the royal oxen are brought out to plough the field, and to provide an omen for the coming plantation.

As the year draws to an end, people congregate at Sanam Luang to celebrate the King's birthday on December 5, Constitution Day on December 10, and to usher in the New Year. Once in four years when the national elections come around, Sanam Luang is also where intense and vociferous political campaigning takes place.

The last zone is 'Sanam Rat', a multi-purpose ground for sport activities and festivals. Other attractions in the park include an International Garden, a mini park showing unique landscape design from seven countries (China, Japan, Spain, England, France, Italy, and USA), the Rock Wall Garden, a Lotus Garden and Magnolia Corner.

Romaneenart Park

Close to the Giant Swing and Wat Suthat, Romaneenart Park is the only non-ceremonial park in the centre of the city. The park is less than five years old, and was built on the site of the old city jail. One wall and some of the old guard towers have been retained and make part of the park.

A large number of fountains help keep the park cool in the middle of the big city. Romaneenart Park is on Siriphong Road, which runs from Wat Suthat down to Pahurat Textile Market in Bangkok's Little India section, next to Chinatown. You can get to the park by taking the express boat to Memorial Bridge pier, then walking up Chakraphet Road.
