Benjakitti Park covers a rectangular area of about 208,000 sqm just opposite the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre. The park forms a narrow swathe of green around the expansive Lake Ratchada, with dedicated bicycle and jogging tracks encircling the whole park. The water's edge is also nicely framed by some pretty, well-maintained plant life, and colourful flowers adding to the tranquillity. You'll also find playgrounds, skate ramps, a central pavilion with fountains, and an impressive half-circle courtyard that's popular for picnics in Benjakitti Park. Some interesting places to photography are the symetric garden, and of course the lake and the cityscape, by day or even better by night after sunset during blue hours when the lights of the buildings start to appear. And it's also a great place to escape the chaos of the city and relax. Nearby you can find the Queen Sirikit nationalconvention center where there are often interesting expositions. And there is a great restaurant/ Grovery shop / Bakery / Wine cellar called El Mercado not far that I strongly recommend for lunch, dinner or drinks.
