Rod Fai Park Bangkok

Rod Fai Park features

As one of the biggest parks in Bangkok, Rod Fai Park is probably the best place for those times when you’ve had too much of the urban jungle. It certainly feels a hundred miles away from bustling downtown, particularly on quieter weekdays. Birds, lizards, turtles and hundreds of grand old trees make a beautiful backdrop to a leisurely cycle around the 2 km bitumen cycle track.

Although the official name is Suan Wachira Benjathat, everyone knows it by its nickname Rod Fai Park (rod fai means 'train' in Thai, and there are still some abandoned engines and carriages close to the entrance). It's fairly easy to find Rod Fai Park, just north of Chatuchak Park and the world-famous JJ Market. Take the BTS Skytrain to Mo Chit Station or the MRT Underground to Chatuchak Park Station. It's a 10-minute walk from either station.
