Serenity and the City - Best Parks in Bangkok

Bangkok parks and vibrant green spaces each host a unique charm and activities to suit everyone so that you can belong to the city like us.  

Most parks open from 5 am to 9 pm, but check on Google Maps before you go. Entrance is generally free, but some parks have areas that require a small fee to access like gyms, pools, and sporting facilities.
