A Review of Bangkok’s New Wetland Park

Recommended Posts

Definitely will be visited on future trips, it will be part of the morning exercise lap of Lumphini and Benjakitti

Made my second visit to this park today. My first was on previous trip about five months ago and I was surprised by how much new growth has occurred since. Originally tobacco fields, the property covers a sprawling mash that not only serves as a huge water retention reserve but as home to many bird species you don’t see in nearby Lumpini Park. 

We entered about 4p.m. Under partly cloudy skies and a steady breeze. Although there were more visitors than last time, the area is so vast you never feel crowded. Some parts are landscaped but the emphasis is decidedly on a natural setting easily accessible to the general public without admission fees. 

A large amphitheater has been created to blend in with the park’s sense of wildness. It’s truly an oasis in the heart of the city.

Benjakitti Wetland Park is Easily reached by MRT’s Klongtoey station, just two stops from Silom. Take Exit 2.

is that because there aren't monitor lizards (yet)? I'm really looking forward to visiting all of these new parks

No lizards observed, but many fish and some turtles. 

Some of the lizards were removed from Lumpini last year.

Late afternoon seems to be good time. Long shadows enhance the landscape and colors.
