In this episode, we visit Benjakitti Park, Bangkok’s stunning 453-rai green oasis. Once a tobacco factory, it’s now a living “sponge park” — designed to absorb floodwaters, filter water with over 300 plant species, and give the city fresh air through more than 8,800 trees.

Walk the nature trails and boardwalks around its four ponds, cycle along dedicated paths, or cross the skywalk that links all the way to Lumpini Park. As the sun sets, skyscrapers shimmer in the water and the city feels calm for a moment.

Benjakitti isn’t just beautiful — it’s a self-sustaining ecosystem, with wetlands, an urban farm, and repurposed factory buildings turned into sports halls and cultural spaces. Come in the evening, and you’ll see joggers, kids skating, yoga groups, and sometimes even live music. It’s proof that Bangkok can slow down and breathe.
