AboutBenjakitti Park has an monster lake around 1.8km walk, located only 400m from highly popular tourist destination sky train station ASOK The park has experienced major changes in the last few years to now offer Forest gardens, Wetlands and skywalk In the middle of the modern and busy Asok area of Bangkok lies the Benjakitti Park, which opened in 2004.
This piece of green with a large lake (Lake Ratchada) can be found between the tall buildings and opposite the Queen Sirikit Congress Centre. During twilight you can take beautiful pictures here. In the Benjakitti Park you’ll find, besides the many flowers and others of course clean, two fountains that are worth a look.
In this park you will also find bicycle and walking paths, playgrounds, skate ramps, a centrally located pavilion and a courtyard where you can picnic and rest from your (long) walk. By the way don’t confuse this park by name with Benjasiri Park which is much smaller.
 2022 Upgrades include Forest and Skywalk

Historyofficially opened in 2004 (on land formally owned by the Tobacco Authority of Thailand) to honor the 72nd birthday of Queen Sirikit. Before that, it had been in operation since 1992, the year the Queen turned 60 (5th cycle), hence the name "Bejakitti" (5 cycles). The name "Benjakitti" was given by Queen Sirikit during the opening. Benjakitti Park has a landmark symbol called “Pathumthani” near the pond. Benjakitti Park was developed from Tobacco pond area 200x800 meters, built by digging and reclamation. This park was part of the project replacement area from resolutions in the government of Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun.
Between 1 and 9 December 2014, this park was used for performing theater and a spectacular technique to commemorate the King "The Phra Mahathat The Phenomenal Life Show" by the stage in the middle of the pond over 100 meters which is the longest water stage in the country. It includes a central boating lake, an outdoor exercise area, a cycling track and a path that is used by walkers and joggers; bicycles and boats can be hired in the park. Expansion to Benjakitti Forest Park A major expansion of the park was approved in 2006, with land granted from the Tobacco Monopoly to build Benjakitti Forest Park to celebrate Queen Sirikit's birthday in 2006. The 652-million baht expansion makes Benjakitti Park the first park in Bangkok with a forest park, and expands the size of the park to 72 hectares. Facilities include elevated walkways, wetlands, rare plant areas, cycle paths and an outdoor amphitheatre.[8] The expansion is planned to fully open in 2022. The park is bridged to another public park, Lumphini Park by a 1.3 km long elevated pedestrian walkway and bicycle trail at the southwest corner of the park.     Future   PhotosOptions
