Benchasiri Park

Benchasiri Park Bangkok is on busy Sukhumvit Road next to the Emporium shopping mall and surrounded by tall buildings. It’s only a small park but is one of the best parks in Bangkok. It’s always busy with people looking for a quiet, peaceful place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Bangkok.
