    The park used to be where the old community have been settling. They were evicted and the BMA quickly demolished these historical site and turned into effectively lawn. Without the existing Banyan trees the was grown since the community time, there isn't much to look at. Rather have the old wooden houses. It is good to create more green space for Bangkok but at what price.

    A small garden with a few places to relax. I got to see the view along the canal. And another angle of Mahadthai Uthit Bridge

    I stumbled upon Mahakan Fort's park on my way to other attractions, and it turned out to be a nice pit stop to unwind so I kept coming back. It was pretty empty every time and has good views of the surrounding area. The park is filled with lush greenery, but it can get pretty hot during the day since there's not much shade around. The park is well-maintained and has comfortable benches. You'll also notice a bunch of noisy crows hanging around, but they didn't really bother me.

    A nice park that gives you a peace of mind not found in most corners of Bangkok. Perfect for a little picnic in the morning

    You can take a quick breather in the small park if, like us, you were looking for beautiful Buddhist figures in the temple opposite. What's interesting are the medium-sized iguanas running around there, which climb out of the adjacent canal to sunbathe.

    Nice, clean and inviting little park between a stream and a road. Including some shaded seating options. Also some large trees and various plantings. About 200 meters long and 40 meters wide. Additionally protected from street noise by a thick wall.

    Such a lovely hidden park with beautiful views across to the Golden Mount. Lovely place to stop for a picnic with street food vendors just by the gates. There are free public toilets and two interpretation panels that explain the history of this part of town. You are also just along the canal.

    After the old wooden houses had regrettably been demolished and some big old trees cut down the area became a rather dull public park consisting mainly of a big lawn. Its saving grace are the Mahakan fort, the remains of the old city wall and it's location next to a junction of canals. However, when I passed by end October 2020 I noticed gardeners were busy planting lots of flowering plants, making the park looking more attractive. What's still missing though is something that would make it worthwhile to stay a bit longer. Why not convert the old "Royal waiting room" into a cafe with a terrace in front where one could enjoy a view of the park and another one on the back where one could watch the activities on the canal?

    Beautiful park. I sat and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery, well worth a visit if you are in Bangkok to relax and take a bit of time out of a busy hectic city. Wow, I have attached some photos to share the serenity. Blessed.

    This cute little park is yet another quiet retreat from bustling Bangkok. This park is a short walk away from Wat Saket, and is a lovely place to walk or sit, enjoy the views, and just soak in nature in the middle of the city.

    Park is a little neglected, but it's beautiful

  • 5/5 Ricca R. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Right now, outside the roadside, there is a construction barrier. But the garden inside is open. Inside there are flowers in full bloom. very suitable for taking pictures (Original) ตอนนี้ด้านนอกริมถนนมีแผงกั้นก่อสร้างอยู่ แต่สวนด้านในเปิดอยู่นะ ด้านในมีดอกไม้บานเต็มที่เลย เหมาะมาถ่ายรูปมากๆ

    (Translated by Google) A very small park in side the old fort. Too small to do any good as park. Small park Built within the Maha Fort fort used to be a slum Personally I think it's also good because I never get to that community. It looks scary. Anyway, the garden is too small to do anything. Can only watch for beautiful photography (Original) A very small park in side the old fort. Too small to do any good as park. สวนสาธารณะเล็กๆ ที่สร้างอยู่ภายในป้อม มหากาฬ เมื่อก่อนเคยเป็นชุมชนแออัด โดยส่วนตัวแล้ว คิดว่าดีเหมือนกันเพราะไม่เคยเข้าไปในชุมชนนั้นดูน่ากลัว ยังไงก็ตาม สวนมันก็เล็กเกินกว่าที่จะทำอะไรได้ ดูแล้วได้แค่เอาไว้ถ่ายรูปสวยๆแค่นั้น

    (Translated by Google) Park from the dismantling of the old community Nowadays it is a place to exercise, relax, organize various festival activities, beautiful, clean, near Ratchadamnoen Road (Original) สวนสาธารณะจากการรื้อชุมชนเก่า ปัจจุบันเป็นสถานที่ออกกำลังกาย พักผ่อน จัดกิจกรรมตามเทศกาลต่างๆ สวยงาม สะอาด ใกล้ถนนราชดำเนิน

    (Translated by Google) It may be difficult to see from the outside because it is surrounded by a wall. Inside is a park like a garden with many flower beds. There is also a clean toilet. Originally it was like a dock. There is an Instagram-conscious staircase in the flowerbed. If you go to Wat Saket, I think you should stop by here as well. (Original) 塀に囲まれているので外からは分かりづらい場所かもしれません。中は庭園の様な公園で花壇が多いです。綺麗なトイレもあります。元々船着き場のようでした。花壇内にインスタを意識した様な階段があります。ワット・サケットにいったならこちらも寄ってみたら良いかと思います。

    (Translated by Google) The garden is considered to be beautiful. There is a flower garden to take beautiful photos. It has the most popular Heavenly Stair probes. (Original) สวนถือว่าจัดได้สวยงาม มีสวนดอกไม้ให้ถ่ายรูปงามๆ มีพร๊อบบันไดสวรรค์ยอดฮิต
