In the heart of Bangkok, where the neon signs flicker and tuk-tuks weave through the chaos, lies a parallel universe—the clandestine web of back alleys and sub-lanes. These narrow passages, like whispered secrets, are etched into the city’s skin.
Step into the labyrinth, where the air smells of incense and stir-fried noodles. The walls lean in, their faded murals telling tales of forgotten dynasties and star-crossed lovers.
But it’s the canals that truly beckon—a network of liquid veins crisscrossing the city. Ride alongside long-tail boats, its engine sputtering to life, and glide along the waterways. The houses here stand on stilts, their wooden foundations submerged. Peek into their lives: a woman washing clothes, a child feeding fish, an old man repairing a fishing net. The canals pulse with stories—of love, loss, and resilience.
Then Three parks await you—each a refuge from the urban frenzy.
Start at the main road. Walk into Sukhumvit 49 (or take a motorbike taxi). Continue until you reach Soi 49/1. Look for the Starbucks in that alley. Once you spot it, turn into the alley. Navigate to house number 20/81. Happy exploring! ♂️
Ride through Benjakitti Park, we'll do a few warmup laps here where a lush oasis born from royal generosity. Back in 2004, it emerged on land once owned by the Tobacco Authority of Thailand, a tribute to Queen Sirikit’s 72nd birthday. But rewind to 1992—the year the Queen turned 60 (5th cycle)—and you’ll find its earlier life, hence the name “Bejakitti” (5 cycles), bestowed by Queen Sirikit herself during the grand opening.
Finally we end at our final destination, Si Nakhon Khuean Khan Park, nestled within the Phrapradaeng Peninsula, is a green haven with a twist. Originally a tobacco pond, it transformed into a public park in 2004, honoring Queen Sirikit’s 72nd birthday. The name “Benjakitti” (meaning 5 cycles) pays homage to the Queen’s 60th birthday. Here, landscaped gardens meet wild pockets, attracting migratory birds. A large lake, a birdwatching tower, and cycling tracks beckon. So pedal forth, explore, and perhaps catch a glimpse of the elusive monitor lizards
