Wachirabenchathat Park (Rot Fai Park)

Ah, behold the tongue-twisting wonderland of greenery in the Chatuchak district – Wachirabenchathat Park!

Or, as it’s affectionately known to locals, Vachirabenjatas Park or Rot Fai Park. 

Nestled amidst Queen Sirikit Park & Chatuchak Park, this verdant oasis is the area’s crown jewel.

This park isn’t just your run-of-the-mill patch of grass; it’s the playground, the heartbeat of Bangkok’s outdoor scene.

History

Once upon a time, it served as the State Railway of Thailand’s golf course, but today, it’s a sanctuary for budding golf prodigies.

If two-wheel adventures are more your speed, a 3-kilometer track has you pedaling with glee.

And fear not if you didn’t bring your bike, for there’s a shop at the starting line where you can rent a bike, so you will be ready to hook up with two wheels of joy.

Attractions in the park

For those with a penchant for leisurely floats, a serene lake beckons with paddleboats awaiting your command. But the surprises don’t end there; venture deeper into the park, and you’ll stumble upon a whimsical butterfly garden that’ll tickle your fancy and educate your curious mind.

Are you feeling pint-sized? Fear not! There’s a miniature city town that packs all of Bangkok’s iconic landmarks into pocket-sized perfection.

It’s like playing tourist without the jetlag.

This scaled-down utopia isn’t just for fun; it’s an ingenious way for kids to master the art of traffic rules while pedaling their hearts out.

If you prefer more active pursuits, sprawling sporting grounds and a refreshing swimming pool exist.

And even a camping site where you can swap stories with the night owls.

And don’t forget your binoculars, because bird watching is a bona fide pastime with the lush trees here.

So, fellow adventurers, pack your sunscreen, dust off your bikes, and unleash your inner explorer at Wachirabenchathat Park – where fun, education, and nature unite in glorious harmony.

Your next adventure awaits!
