This place is a huge park. The environment is good for walking, running, and picnicking with family. It has fresh air because there are many trees and it is far from the traffic lane. It is convenient to go there from my home.

Very beautiful and well managed park. There are different types of seasonal flowers planted around the lake. Very good place for evening run or walk. 3 km and 5 km running tracks marked here. Park open early morning till 7 p.m. But you have to pay entrance fee from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. I wish park open till 9 p.m. so have plenty of time for run after working. Bicycle track, tennis court, and paddlin...

When I visited with my girlfriend, it had stormed but the ...

The entrance fee is just 10 Baht and opening hours is 5am - 7pm. You ca...

I haven't been back to this park since my school day so I'm very happy to see this park still looks good and has many visitors.
