The route
* Approximate route — see the exact path in Google Maps below
Benjakitti is Bangkok’s newest park — an old tobacco factory reborn as forest and wetland in the middle of the city. The 2.8 km track hugs the lake before climbing onto a wooden skywalk that floats above the marsh.
Running above the wetlands
The 1.67 km skywalk gives you the city from an angle you have never seen — towers mirrored on the water, waterbirds feeding at dawn, and air noticeably cooler than the streets below.
A forest in the city — proof that Bangkok can still breathe.
What you'll see
- Skywalk floating over the wetlands
- The skyline mirrored on the lake
- Links toward Lumpini via the green bridge
Before you go
- Mixed paved and boardwalk surfaces — watch your footing
- Busiest at sunrise and sunset
- Little shade on the skywalk — go early
