Public Parks in Bangkok: suan saa-taa-ra-na nai grung-tayp

"suan" means "Park" in Thai language
"saa-taa-ra-na" means "Public" in Thai langauge
When we want to say "Public Park", we should say "suan saa-taa-ra-na"
Let me recommend everyone to know some great public parks in Bangkok, near the BTS station and MRT (the subway)

"suan Benjasiri":"Benjasiri Park" is located on Sukhumvit road, between Soi 24 and 22. There are the Emporium Department store beside and the Queen's Park Hotel behind. It takes time about 5 mins by walking from the Prom Pong BTS station. Open Daily. There are many activities in the park, yoga, taichi etc.

"suan Lumpini", Most of Thai say shortly "suan Lum":"Lumpini Park" is near the MRT, Silom Station, Rama 4 Rd. It's the biggest public park in Bangkok. Plenty of many trees and beautiful colorful flowers. Big pool in the park. Spending your free day in the park. When someone goes, never forget to walk to Lumpini Night Bazarr. There are many restaurants and many gift shops.

"suan Chatuchak" or "JJ" is on Paholyothin road, adjacent to the BTS and MRT, Chatuchak station. On weekend, there are many thousand people along the street because the weekend market, JJ Market or "dta-laat nat Chatuchak", is next to the park.

Don't forget to spend your worthy time with nature, then you will love it.
