Benjakitti Park is a big, green space in the middle of Bangkok, Thailand. It’s right next to the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, making it easy to get to, especially with nearby MRT and BTS stations. The park opened in 2004 to celebrate Queen Sirikit’s 72nd birthday, but it had been around in some form since 1992. The main feature is a large lake surrounded by paths where people jog, walk, or cycle. You can even rent a bike or boat there. It’s a popular spot for exercise, relaxing, or just getting away from the city’s noise. In 2022, the park got a major upgrade with the addition of Benjakitti Forest Park. This expansion added wetlands, elevated walkways, rare plants, and an outdoor amphitheater. Walking through the forest park feels like stepping into nature, right in the middle of the city. There’s even a walkway that connects it to Lumphini Park, another big green space nearby. Overall, Benjakitti Park is a peaceful escape with a mix of open spaces, trees, and water—great for both locals and visitors looking to stretch their legs or enjoy some fresh air.
