8. Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park | Top 10 Parks
A large peaceful space at one of Thailand’s most prestigious universities
This park is a very sizeable 11 acre space located at Chulalongkorn University. While the park is a perfect refuge for students, faculty, and the public, it also serves a different purpose. It’s also a rainwater detention basin!

A great relaxation spot when touring the area near the Grand Palace
A park from the era of King Chulalongkorn, aka Rama V. This magnificent public space has multiple points of interests well worth visiting.

6. Chatuchak Park | Top 10 Parks
A sprawling park next to the Chatuchak Weekend Market
This is a public space greatly contrasting the utter chaos of the Chatuchak Weekend Market!
Connected to both the BTS skytrain and MRT subway stations, this massive park is about 75 acres! It also happens to be one of the oldest parks in Bangkok, so keep that in mind when you’re taking a break away from the weekend market!

5. Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park | Top 10 Parks
A slice of heaven across the river
This one is cheating a bit as it’s technically not in Bangkok. However, the park is easily reachable by simply crossing the river into Bang Kachao, or the famous “Bangkok Lung”. This is a great park to cycle, or to go birdwatching (a tower was built for it here).
Address: 73 Soi Wat Rat Rangsan, Bang Kachao, Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan 10130, Thailand

3. Lumphini Park
Probably the most well known park on this list
This is easily in the Top 3 of any Top 10 Parks in Bangkok list!
Lumphini Park is probably the first park to come to mind when discussing parks in Bangkok. And for good reason, it’s 142 acres, amazing for joggers, and in a great location at the heart of the city! It’s easily accessible by taking the MRT subway to Lumphini station, and it’s located right between Silom and Sukhumvit, the financial and commercial centers of the city.

2. Benjasiri Park
An upscale place to find peace next to the affluent Emporium at Phrom Phong
Benjasiri is one of those places that has a bit of everything.
It’s a great place to walk, you can play sports here (skating, basketball, takraw), aerobics are available, it’s next to several great malls, it’s easily accessible, and the list goes on.
You can reach Benjasiri Park by taking the BTS skytrain to Phrom Phong.

1. Benjakitti Park & Forest Park
Two parks in one, the ultimate green escape in central Bangkok
Benjakitti Park has long been one of Bangkok’s most beloved parks — a wide, open space with stunning skyline views, a central lake, running and cycling tracks, and a peaceful, urban vibe right in the heart of Asok. It’s the perfect place for a jog, a paddleboat ride, or just to take in the city from a calm, green vantage point.
But what truly earns Benjakitti the number one spot is its brand-new sibling: Benjakitti Forest Park, an ambitious eco-park expansion that has transformed former industrial land into a lush wetland forest, complete with elevated walkways, ponds, and birdwatching spots. It’s an entirely different experience, full of nature trails and wooden paths that make you feel miles away from the city, even though you’re right in the center of it.
Together, they form Bangkok’s most dynamic and diverse park space, a rare fusion of urban design and rewilded greenery.
