Green Escape in the City

#summervacay If Bangkok’s chaos has you craving some peace and fresh air, Suan Luang Rama IX Royal Park is basically a giant “ahhh” button. Tucked in the eastern part of the city, this park is huge and super underrated. Like, it’s the kind of place locals go to relax, and tourists totally sleep on it. You’ve got lakes, gardens from different countries (Japan, China, you name it), jogging paths, and shady spots perfect for napping or picnicking. There’s even a gorgeous golden pavilion and flower zones that feel like a dream during blooming season. Rent a pedal boat, take a slow stroll, or just post up under a tree and vibe. It’s peaceful, clean, and a solid break from all the tuk-tuks and temple hopping. Bonus: barely any crowds, which is rare for Bangkok. Bring snacks, maybe a book or a friend, and just enjoy the slow life for a while. Nature therapy without leaving the city? Yes please.
