Rama IX Park

The Largest Pubic Park in Bangkok

Bangkok is one of the most exciting and vibrant cities of Southeast Asia. Bangkok serves as the capital and seat of government of Thailand, and is known for its unique historic landmarks, inspiring cultural attractions, busting shopping and commercial districts, and hot red-light districts. Therefore, Bangkok is one of the best destinations for an exciting and fun-filled vacation in the Southeast. A Bangkok 5 star hotel that offers luxury accommodation and a host of facilities and services is Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa.

While most visitors arrive at Bangkok looking to blow off some steam and have an exciting and eventful vacation, there a few landmarks in Bangkok which are meant to quiet contemplation and reflection. One such landmark is the Rama IX Park. Known to be the ‘largest public open space in Bangkok’, this large park is a green-lung and a natural sanctuary which is both beautiful and relaxing, and is a great place to visit to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in Bangkok.

Located along Sukhumvit 103 Road, Udom Suki, the Rama IX Park is spread over 200 acres. The park was built in 1987 to commemorate King Bhumibol’s 60th birthday and has since been the largest open green space in Bangkok. The garden is of breath-taking beauty and is known for its luscious trees and plants, green lawns and terrains, and quaint and well maintained gardens. The quiet and tranquil atmosphere of this beautiful park makes it a great place for a quiet stroll amidst nature, or for spending a relaxing afternoon or evening with friends or family. One of the unique features of the park is that it has smaller gardens dedicated to the landscaping style or different countries, such as England, Italy, the United States of America, and Japan. A relaxing picnic, a soothing ride on a paddle boat along the stream that flows through the park, or a light jog are ideal activities to engage in this haven of lush greenery.
