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!
