How can you buy it? It's a public park.
Amidst the bustling metropolis, where the allure of air-conditioned shopping malls beckons, a yearning for nature's embrace takes hold. Yet, in the urban jungle, where concrete reigns supreme, the quest for a verdant sanctuary seems elusive. Public parks, with their verdant tapestry and tranquil ambiance, offer a respite from the city's relentless clamor. Time constraints, however, dictate a midday excursion, as evening commitments beckon. With a limited window of opportunity, the choice of a park becomes paramount. A haven where birdsong fills the air, trees provide shade, and accessibility is paramount. A quick decision, a swift departure, and a solitary stroll await. Embracing the solitude, I embark on a chic promenade through the urban oasis.
The hidden gem lies here, a park that some might overlook due to the popularity of its neighboring parks, Chatuchak and Rot Fai. Oh, those places are too crowded, and I've been there too many times. If you seek tranquility, this is the place for you. I guarantee you'll find more than you expect. This was my first time exploring almost the entire park, and I was thoroughly impressed. Queen Sirikit Park, the park of our beloved mother of the land.
Queen Sirikit Park is a public park located in Chatuchak district, Bangkok. It is situated on Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road, adjacent to Chatuchak Park and Wachirabenchathat Park. The park was established to commemorate the auspicious occasion of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit's 60th birthday on August 12, 1992. It is located within the grounds of the Children's Discovery Museum. Simply put, if you can't find it, just walk to Chatuchak Park and you'll know this park. It's very easy to find.
The location is beautiful and informative, but the reviews may not be very informative. You have to come and see for yourself. Honestly, it's a great place to take photos and post them online. If there are any errors in the information, please forgive me.
This place is lush and full of flowers, making me feel incredibly happy. The beautiful flowers are a perfect match for a woman like me who wants to be beautiful.
Why travel far to see the blooming fields of Siam tulips when you can find them right here? They are in full bloom during this rainy season.

Refreshing!
Staring at the computer and mobile phone all day, it's refreshing to change the scenery and look at some green. It's really heartwarming. Everywhere you look, there's nothing but green.
Compared to Suan Rot Fai, this park is more appealing due to its lower visitor density, abundance of flowers, absence of cyclists, and overall tranquility. The crowd size is moderate, with most visitors arriving in the evening. The park is clean and appears well-maintained, reflecting its association with the Queen Mother. Visitors are expected to maintain decorum, as they are under constant observation. Despite the watchful eyes, the park provides a sense of security.
The area was crowded with photographers, mostly capturing the blooming flowers. Many graduates were also taking photos in their academic gowns and couples were having pre-wedding shoots. We avoided the crowded areas and found a quiet spot to sit alone. However, we noticed a foreigner discreetly taking photos of us. They probably didn't realize that we were also setting up our camera to take a self-portrait.
"So I secretly took a picture of him back."
I was sitting and relaxing when I heard music playing in the distance. The music was beautiful, it was instrumental music, all composed by the King. Each song sounded familiar. Where was it coming from? I saw a glimpse of a musical fountain. It must be the highlight of this place. I had walked a long way and was too lazy to walk back there. I thought it would probably open again, but when I went back, I waited and waited, but it didn't open.
The meandering pond, shaped like the intertwined letters "S" and "S," will be located in the center of the garden, symbolizing the celebration of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit's 90th birthday through the first letters of her royal name.
Let's check the website again. Hey! It's open at night too, with beautiful lights. However, it's probably only open during events. The park often hosts events (according to the website), such as the Colorful Plants Festival or youth camps for children to learn about plants. I can't imagine the fountain, so let's look at the small fountain picture we took first. It looks like it will be about this size when it's open, but it's shaped like an S and is beautiful as expected.
Why hasn't it opened yet, even though it's past the scheduled time?
"Wow, you're here early! Why are you here in the middle of the day?" "Well, I wasn't free in the evening." "This is the perfect time, the lighting is great. My crappy camera wouldn't have enough light in the evening. And it'll be crowded with people then."
Another highlight of this place that we appreciate is that visually impaired people can also enjoy the garden and experience its beauty through their imagination. This is a testament to the great kindness of the organizers.
The Royal Park for the Blind, the first of its kind in Thailand, offers visually impaired individuals the opportunity to enjoy nature while learning about and experiencing various fragrant plants. The park features short walking paths where visitors can touch Braille signs and listen to audio descriptions of the surrounding flora.
The text describes a scene with small and large animals, sculpted in a raised manner, making them touchable and adorable.
Strolling along, I stumbled upon this plant. Its name is Thai, and its flowers are beautiful (I've always loved white flowers). Plus, it's a vine, which makes me love it even more.
As I strolled along, I didn't feel lonely or desolate. I would occasionally encounter staff watering plants, collecting leaves, and cleaning, making me feel like a pampered lady in a grand mansion, strolling through my own expansive garden. "Mr. Chod, please bring the car to pick me up," I said to myself (usually, the driver's name is Mr. Chod). 55555 I was really letting my imagination run wild.
The white flowers of the Plumeria tree are beautiful. When I was a child, I read in a book that the leaves of the Plumeria tree could be roasted over a fire and then wrapped around the leg to relieve pain. I'm not sure if this is true, but it's an interesting idea.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
Nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden, a haven of diverse plant species awaits eager young minds. Let us embark on a journey of discovery, where children can immerse themselves in the wonders of nature firsthand. Reading books and observing pictures, while valuable, cannot fully replicate the transformative experience of encountering the real thing. The garden boasts a treasure trove of trees, some even unknown to us adults, each with its own unique story to tell. Let us step into this verdant realm and allow our senses to be captivated by the vibrant tapestry of life.
English:
Indian Rubber Tree
The original text refers to the "ต้นยางอินเดีย," which translates to "Indian Rubber Tree" in English.
I am glad that the sign still uses the original name, as I prefer it to Leelawadee.
Here it is, the place with the heavy traffic. I arrived and read the sign at first, but I didn't feel anything. But when I looked up, I was like... what is this sadness? It's kind of creepy. At first, I was going to walk in, but I changed my mind. It's not a good idea. It's quiet, there's no one here. It's like there's some kind of energy. I can feel it, like a needle. It's a good thing the grass is wet, so I didn't go in (excuse).
Yes, there are pets.
Walking around looking at this and that, the bushes behind would be very beautiful if photographed from a high angle. It is right in front of the Public Relations building. You ask how I know it's beautiful? I saw it in a picture.
Like a rally, let's follow the signs to find the locations. We've already passed Asok Square.
We are unsure of the specific locations and directions. Without consulting a map, it is difficult to navigate and determine the correct path.
Rock garden
Palm Grove
Rose Garden
Lotus Pond
Take a break when you're tired.

Oops! I'm lost and stumbled upon a house. I'll ask for some water. #LostAndThirsty
Is anyone there?
A replica of a traditional village, complete with charming details. However, a rope barrier prevents access, suggesting it may only be open for special events.
The animals were fed with cow, chicken, goat, and pig feed, but it was fake. The piglets died.
Here we are again, encountering the sala tree.
Another highlight that I believe is worth mentioning is something I discovered recently during my exploration of the area. I was surprised to find this hidden gem, which I believe is unique to this location. It's something I wouldn't have expected to find in the heart of a bustling city.
Tree tunnel!
I was a little scared and hesitant to enter, as there weren't many people around. But I came in anyway, and I guess there's nothing to worry about.
The sight is breathtaking. I never imagined there could be a tunnel of trees in the middle of the city. As I peer out, I see nothing but branches, trees, and a dense forest. It feels like I'm actually walking through a real forest. All I can hear is the sound of running water, creating a humid jungle atmosphere. At times, I feel a pang of fear, wondering if there are any animals or insects lurking nearby. It's a mixture of excitement and trepidation. The silence is so profound, it's hard to believe I'm still in Bangkok.
Translation:
Beneath the playful exterior lies a hidden depth, suggesting more than meets the eye. This charming individual's presence transcends mere physical movement, hinting at a deeper significance.
Are you really a rabbit? Tell me now!!!!
No matter how far I walk, I can't see a way out. Should I turn back?
We see the light! We've found the way out! Hooray! We imagine ourselves as Alice in Wonderland.

It's getting hot and I've been walking a lot. I think I'll go inside and cool off in the air conditioning.

The silk fabric is beautiful. We only know that it is very expensive. In the past, Phutai women would weave one piece each for use in important ceremonies. However, thanks to the royal grace, we have seen Phrava being woven widely to this day. The picture is a bit blurry.
Khao Sangk Yot, a local rice variety from Phatthalung Province.
In the past, when we were children, we always called it "liana liphao". Oh... actually it's called "liana lipha". This is a product made from liana lipha.
Translation:
Poke poke poke.
The afternoon heat is starting to set in. It must be time to head back.
As I walked, I was nearing the exit when I came across something that made me stop in my tracks.
Oh my goodness, it's so adorable! A million exclamation points for this cuteness! This must be the highlight of the park (another highlight!). I actually knew beforehand that there would be a club for fans of this creature coming to this park every Saturday and Sunday. They usually come in the afternoon, and the place is packed. This was definitely our goal.
Prairie dogs, also known as ground squirrels, are adorable and chubby creatures. Their plump bellies are irresistible, making you want to poke them playfully. I took numerous photos of them and had a lengthy conversation with their owner. Moneybag and Goldbag are truly hefty, aren't they?
I have always wanted to raise one, but I never had the chance.
Oh, my dear child, are you cold in there?
No, no, don't fight over it, children.

The money bag was dug up by itself. The gold bag went to play over there.
Exhausted from walking all day under the sun, we still haven't covered the entire park. It's hundreds of acres, and walking is the only option. Honestly, it's impossible to see everything in one day. We'll have to come back when we have more time. Unlike the Train Park, there are no bicycles for rent here. But we actually prefer it this way. Walking is peaceful and allows us to enjoy the shade of the trees. Bicycles would just create unnecessary chaos. It's enough for the staff to have bicycles for patrolling the park.
Diverse flowers bloom throughout the seasons, ensuring a captivating experience for every visit. Let's explore the floral wonders of each season.
In the late afternoon, when the crowd starts to grow, the park will play soft Thai pop music in addition to the royal anthems from the fountain, creating a very relaxing atmosphere.
Translation:
"Oh, and most importantly, don't forget to come play with us! We're here every Saturday and Sunday, but be warned, we bite! 😜"

It's too hot. I'm leaving now. See you later.
