Suan Luang Rama IX — Attraction in Nong Bon Subdistrict

It's one of the most quiet, instagrammable and photogenic park which I personally like a lot. Situated away from the busy and noisy downtown traffic in the eastern suburb of Bangkok adjacent to Bueng Nong Bon, it's large, natural and nicely landscaped, making it perfect for a picnic, a family outing, a work-out or a relaxed stroll. Once inside, you see mostly sky and tree tops here (and of course beautiful flowers and birds). There's high safety level in the park with security guards stationed at various points. 3 car parks on Chalermprakiat Rama IX road and the main one on Srinakarindra road behind Seacon are vast and easily accessible.

The park has a huge lake, on which bank the park's Rajamongkol Hall sits, with pedal boats for hire as well. Different garden themes here like Chinese garden, English garden (a bit too small and could be better), desert plants zone, indoor plants zone, herbs zone, waterfall and creek zone, etc. are worth visiting. All trees and beautiful flowery plants of different types are well maintained. A playground and a tree "maze" are also there for kids next to the carpark of Srinakarindra road entrance.

For bikers, there is a dedicated bicycle track to bike along as well. Near it, tennis courts and swimming pool can be enjoyed on a membership basis. Back to the lake, S&P has been operating a restaurant there with an al fresco area with a nice view.

I've been jogging here from time to time for over 20 years and the park is still going strong. Credits should be given to those who runs it. The park collects a small entrance fee for visitors and cars. But if you go before 9.00am. or after 17.00, it's free. Public restrooms here are pay ones with caretakers (3 baht fee/person).

This is the place where you can recharge your batteries on weekends or anytime. It's spacious, well-kept, safe, clean, relaxing and away from the air pollution...

Suan Luang Rama IX (Thai: สวนหลวง ร.๙), also referred to as (King) Rama IX Park, is a public park in Bangkok's Prawet District. With an area of 500 rai (80 ha; 200 acres), it is the largest park in Bangkok. Despite all the interesting things to see here, the park often remains surprisingly free of tourists and offers a genuine experience of how locals spend their afternoons off. Apart from exploring the gardens, there's also the chance of getting out on the lake on the reliable but slightly worn duck and swan pedalos that line the jetty. Those who arrive early in the morning can join the public tai chi or aerobics class. There is also an outdoor gym with fun exercise equipment suitable for adults and children. The park was built to celebrate King Bhumibol Adulyadej's sixtieth birthday in 1987, and was opened by the King on 1 December that year. It features extensive botanical gardens, a lake, and a pavilion housing exhibits in honour of the King. The park is managed by the Suan Luang Rama 9 Foundation. Admission costs around 10 baht. Most people are here in the early mornings to exercise. In the afternoons, families and young couples come to laze around on hired mats. The best time to visit Rama IX Park is in December when the park hosts a lavish annual...
