Benjakitti Park

Benjakitti Park is a large public park in Khlong Toei District, central Bangkok, centered around a scenic lake with views of the city skyline. Established in 1992 to honor Queen Sirikit's 60th birthday and expanded in 2022 with the Benjakitti Forest Park, it covers over 130 acres. The park is notable for its elevated walkway, cycling track, wetlands, and landscaped gardens, serving as a major urban green space for recreation and leisure.

Visitors can expect a large urban park centered on a lake with a 1.6 km elevated walkway and skywalk connecting the original park to the newer forest park extension. The landscape includes wetlands, ponds, wooded areas, cycling and jogging tracks, open lawns, and pavilions with views of the Bangkok skyline. Areas are linked by paved paths and bridges suitable for walking, cycling, photography and birdwatching.

Created in 1992 to commemorate the 60th birthday of Queen Sirikit Kitiyakara on land formerly belonging to the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly. The park was developed around a large lake and later expanded in 2022 with the Benjakitti Forest Park project, which transformed former factory grounds into a forest and wetland park.

Serves as a major urban green space and public recreation area for Bangkok, symbolizing royal commemoration and urban sustainability through its lake, landscaped gardens, and forest restoration that provides leisure, exercise and community gathering space in central Bangkok.
