Welcome to Benjakitti Park, a serene oasis nestled in the heart of bustling Bangkok, Thailand. Since its inception in 1992, this lush green space has captivated locals and visitors alike, offering a retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.

Join us on a virtual journey through Benjakitti Park, where nature flourishes amidst the urban landscape. Located in the Khlong Toei District, adjacent to the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, this park is easily accessible via public transportation, making it a convenient destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

Originally established to commemorate Queen Sirikit's 60th birthday, Benjakitti Park has since evolved into a sprawling haven for relaxation and recreation. Named after the Queen's fifth cycle, "Benjakitti" holds a special place in Bangkok's heart, with its iconic "Pathumthani" landmark adorning the tranquil pond.

But the beauty of Benjakitti Park doesn't stop there. In 2022, the park underwent a remarkable transformation with the expansion of Benjakitti Forest Park. Spanning approximately 102 acres, this new addition showcases innovative design concepts aimed at enhancing the city's resilience against floods.

Designed by Turenscape with Arsomsilp Landscape Studio, Benjakitti Forest Park embraces Kongjian Yu's visionary "sponge city" concept. Featuring four expansive lakes and hundreds of mounded islands, this park serves as a natural filtration system, cleansing polluted water while providing a sanctuary for wildlife.

As you wander through the park's winding boardwalks and elevated walkways, you'll be greeted by a harmonious blend of nature and architecture. Former industrial structures have been repurposed into modern amenities, including a sports center and museum, adding layers of history to this verdant landscape.

Don't miss the opportunity to explore the 1.3 km long elevated pedestrian walkway and bicycle trail, linking Benjakitti Park to its neighboring oasis, Lumphini Park. Whether you're seeking a peaceful stroll, a rejuvenating workout, or simply a moment of tranquility amidst nature, Benjakitti Park promises an unforgettable experience for all who visit.
