Wachirabenchathat Park

Kamphaeng Phet 3 Road, Khwaeng Chatuchak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon

Description

Wachirabenchathat Park (or Rot Fai Park) is a public park in Bangkok, formerly the State Railway of Thailand's golf course. It includes a small lake, a 3km cycling track, a butterfly garden, and sport facilities & infrastructure. There is also a miniature town with scaled-down landmarks of Bangkok. The park borders on Queen Sirikit Park and Chatuchak Park; together they form a continuous green expanse.

Access & Transport

The park is located in Chatuchak district, 8km north of Siam Square The Chatuchak Park station (blue), Mo Chit station (Sukhumvit line), and Phahon Yothin (blue) are all on the eastern edge of the parks.

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this attraction with a visit of Chatuchak Market, noting that this attraction is closed on Mon/Tue and that the main market day is on weekends

Meta review

Not a tourist highlight and not ranked or rated as such. Online reviews describe it as a good place to relax and get away from the hustle of the city, cycle (bikes available for rent) as well as spot animals such as squirrels or monitor lizards. The only real sight are the sunflowers when they are in bloom.

Environmental & Social

Green attraction that improves the living environment of residents

Conclusion

A welcome green space within Bangkok but there is nothing there to warrant a dedicated trip, other than it being, well... green. So this is one squarely for Bangkok residents or those seeking refuge after 2-3h spent in Chatuchak market!

Key positive

Good for running or family (casual) cycling

Key negative

No stand-out feature

A little time consuming to get to

Suitability

Accessible with mainly asphalted paths
