Benjakitti Park

Located on the grounds of the state-owned Thailand Tobacco Monopoly, adjacent to the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, Benjakitti Park is a well-maintained green space in the bustling Asoke area. Covering 130-rai (about 0.2 square kilometres), the park’s main attractions are the man-made Lake Rachada, expansive bicycling and jogging paths encircling the lake, lovely grassy gardens, and outdoor fitness areas.

Benjakitti Park is wonderful for children of all ages. It boasts a small outdoor playground with a variety of play equipment. Quieter paths cut through the shady flora, allowing younger kids to run and play safely away from the bikers and runners. There are bicycles suitable for older children and adults for hire, but you can bring your own equipment. The park also offers paddle boat and rowboat rentals with life jackets. Boating in the evening, while feeding fish and turtles (bring your own bread!), is an enjoyable experience for the whole family.
