At the center of the park is Lake Rajada where you can hire swan pedal boats while the surrounding park has both cycling, jogging and walking paths which completely circle the park and are very popular with walkers, joggers, and cyclists. Bicycles can be hired for 50 baht an hour at a booth next to the swan boat rental.

Benjakiti park in Bangkok is quiet in the daytime and is best visited in the late afternoon. It’s a great place to watch the sun go down set against the surrounding downtown skyline. The Retro Cafe is a bar/restaurant in the Queen Sirikit Center and has a terrace overlooking the park with live music in the evenings.
