Benjakitti Park

Benjakitti Park
Bangkok's first forest park features innovative elevated skyway creating two-level viewing system—ground-level wetland access plus aerial walkway for bird's-eye wetland perspectives.
Target species include water birds (herons, rails, bitterns, waterhens with chicks), raptors (Asian openbills often perched on convention center lights), and specialty birds like Indochinese roller and Greater racket-tailed drongo. The elevated walkway provides photography angles impossible from ground level.
The location near Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre means MRT access without taxi transfers. The urban wetland concept—preserved wetland within city supporting genuine ecosystem—represents successful Bangkok green space planning.

Monika's Tip
Visit the elevated skyway at 6-7 AM when water birds are feeding in wetland below. The aerial angle shows bird behavior invisible from ground—you're watching herons hunting from above versus just seeing them standing in water.
