The Art of Urban Serenity
Explore the Serene Escapes Within Bangkok at Benjasiri Park
Benjasiri Park offers a peaceful retreat in the midst of Sukhumvit’s bustling streets. Built in honour of Queen Sirikit, the park is a cherished sanctuary for those seeking a peaceful escape in Bangkok.
A Sanctuary of Art and Nature
Over a dozen modern sculptures by famous Thai artists line the park’s paths, transforming each route into a walk through Thai art. A central ornamental lake invites guests for a quiet reflection, with benches overlooking the water and skyline. The blend of trees and open lawns creates an environment that resembles a natural living gallery.
A Hub for Tranquil Recreation and Wellness
Every morning and evening, people gather for jogging, aerobics and Tai Chi. Visitors frequently join yoga sessions under shaded groves, making fitness feel communal and motivating. Travellers staying at Gardina Asoke find the park to be a perfect complement to city life, providing a quick escape for exercise or a mindful break.
Musical and Cultural Escapes
The highlight for many is the musical fountain, where synchronised light and water shows create a lively atmosphere. Weekend programmes like “Dhamma in the Park” add a contemplative element by introducing Buddhist teachings in an open-air setting. Its tranquil mood is often compared to the serenity of Bangkok Benjakitti Park, another nearby green escape.
A Convenient Urban Retreat
The park is located on Sukhumvit Road, next to the Emporium Mall, and is only a few feet from the Phrom Phong BTS station. Its convenient location makes it a popular stop for commuters, shoppers, and families, showing that Bangkok’s calm spots can be located right in the city’s busiest area.
