Benjakitti Park

About Benjakitti Park

Benjakitti Forest Park is a 72-hectare park in Khlong Toei, beside the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre and a short walk from Asok. It was expanded in 2022 with wetlands designed to soak up rainwater. It has a large central lake, patches of young forest, and an elevated skywalk that winds over the marsh with city towers all around.

Entry is free. You can walk the 1.6 km skywalk, jog or cycle the lakeside paths (bicycles are available to rent), rent a paddleboat or rowing boat, or bring a picnic, though alcohol is not allowed. A green bridge links it to Lumpini Park. Food vendors gather outside the entrances.

A late-afternoon walk on the skywalk as the sun sets over the skyline is a calm, free date. The railings light up after dark. The park is open daily from 5 am to 9 pm. Midday is hot and quiet, and it gets lively from about 4 pm. Come in the early morning or evening.

Why it works for a date

• Elevated skywalk over the wetlands
• Skyline views across the lake
• Free entry and well-kept paths
• Lights on the skywalk after dark

Good to be aware of

• Very hot and exposed at midday
• Few permanent cafés inside
