Benjakiti Park provides one of the best scenical walkways and running track that attracts a fair number of joggers every morning and early evening stretches for two kilometers around the lake.

If you need a respite from the crowds and noise, apart from the romantic sunsets Benjakiti Park is the place to be. I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon and evening in this beautiful peaceful, colorful park. A must visit if ever in Bangkok.

Haha, I love Lumpini Park and go there regularly, I never realized that Benjakiti was so nice on the inside.

Very surprising on the inside looks deceiving from the tall line of gate fencing and line of trees from the outside !
