Benjakitti Park

Overview

Benjakitti Park is a modern urban park in the Khlong Toei district, expanded in 2022 with elevated skywalks over wetlands and a large lake. It connects to Lumpini Park via a green corridor, creating Bangkok's largest continuous green space.

Highlights

• Elevated Skywalk: A 1.8-kilometre raised walkway passes through treetops and over wetland gardens.
• Lake Jogging Track: A scenic 1.3-kilometre loop around the lake is popular with runners.
• Wetland Garden: Native aquatic plants attract birds and create a surprisingly wild feel amid the skyscrapers.

History

The park sits on the former grounds of the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly. Phase 1 opened in 2004; the major expansion adding the skywalk and wetlands opened in 2022.

Visitor Tips

• Sunset: The skywalk offers excellent sunset views with the skyline silhouette.
