Bangkok's Parks & Gardens

Bangkok’s green spaces range from historic royal grounds to expansive botanical collections. Lumphini Park, established in the 1920s, serves as the city's oldest public park, while King Rama IX Park stands as the largest, featuring six themed international gardens. Visitors can find specialized habitats at the Bangkok Butterfly Garden and Queen Sirikit Park’s botanical displays. Cultural sites like the Jim Thompson House and Bangkok Folk Museum combine mid-20th-century architecture with traditional tropical gardens, offering insight into the city's domestic heritage and royal history.
