Coss Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Right near Asok, looks like a pleasant place to stroll... https://www.khaosodenglish.com/life/2022/01/06/a-review-of-bangkoks-new-wetland-park/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 From the Article “On the western end of the park, there is a large grass lawn surrounded by a half amphitheater.” That should read “at the western end of the park can be found the world famous a a Plaza” 😬 Who would use it, the original Benjakitti Park opened in 2004 and I have walked there a grand total of zero times. For “Wetland” read”Mosquito Breeding Zone”, like as if I am going to walk in the Bangkok sum through an unshaded ares through Mosquito Central for fun, I can think of a lot better things to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hi, The park has been enlarged a lot, it is now easily twice the size of the original park (including the lake). The old tobacco factory has been demolished, and that entire area is now part of the park. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Great, twice the size that not many people will use Lumpini Park is so popular because not only is is a nice peaceful green zone in the midst of the concrete metropolis, it has trees / shaded areas in which to relax. The wetlands by contrast, looking at the photos, is all open, not many Thais will want to get the nasty sunlight on their oh so pristine white skin now would they. As Rudyard Kipling observed, and made into song by Noel Coward “Only Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid day sun” and even this Englishman doesn’t.

khunsanuk Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hi, This wetland area is just one part of the park. There's plenty of trees around as well, albeit still small-ish. And the way I see it, a park is a huge improvement over a tobacco factory. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 1 hour ago, My Penis is hungry said: Was a good short cut when driving to go through the old tobacco factory If I remember correctly Security Guards at the little barriers on wheels used to charge either 10 or 20 Baht to drive through the Old Tobacco complex.
