Description: |
|
This public park is located a distance from a local temple
called WatChaloemPhraKiat. It covers an area of 40 acres. The
park was commissioned by the Treasury Department to mark the
50th anniversary of His Majesty King BhumibolAdulyadej’s
ascension to the throne, and as a recreation spot for the
general public. The park has a fine collection of water plants,
garden plants and aquatic animals.
Inside the park, a
walk-through pavilion is surrounded by three traditional carved
wooden pavilions, made of teak, primed with pure gold leaf and
decorated with beautiful glass. Many important royal functions
have been held here. Nearby, a group of teak Thai houses built
in the traditional Thai style can be enjoyed. At the corner by
the river is the former residence of Nonthaburi's governor.
Nearby fruit orchards offer scenic walks among durian,
mangosteen, jackfruit and coconut trees.
To get there,
drive along Bang Kruai-SaiNoi route, and turn towards Nonthaburi
Pier. From Bangkok, cross PhraNangklao Bridge towards Bang Phlu
junction, turn left to SuanKaeo Temple, and then follow the road
signs to Kanchanaphisek Park. By boat, take a regular long-tail
boat from Nonthaburi Pier along Bang Yai Canal. The boats depart
every 20 minutes from Nonthaburi Pier. The trip takes around 5
minutes, costing 7 baht per passenger. |
