"Sanam Luang" Sanam Luang Park Tip by leffe3

Sanam Luang Park, Bangkok: 11 reviews and 29 photos

The largest open space in Bangkok by far, and found immediately north of the Grand Palace. It is the traditional site for royal cremations as well as festivities presided over by the king. It is the former site of what is now Chatuchack Market - now it is mainly an open recreational space, with locals and tourists to be found picnicking on the outer edges in the welcome shade provided by the trees lining the perimeter. In the centre of this vast space, locals try out their skills controlling the multi-coloured kites that can be bought from the stalls in the park.

Address: Bangkok
Directions: Opposite the Grand Palace.

Review Helpfulness: 1.5 out of 5 stars
