Today was just a to beautiful day to be staying indoors been a sunny clear blue sky day , i just had to get myself out there and take in some of the Vitamin D so set myself out for a walk Benjakitti Park buy myself some lunch and picnic in the park.
Benjakitti Park is situated in the heart of Bangkok city with some beautiful views of the nearby skyscrapers it was opened in honor of Queen Sirikit's 72nd birthday in 2004. It has a man made lake of approx 2km in diameter on one side and the park itself covers a area of about 21 hectares.
Around the man made lake is were the joggers will jog around or you can simply just walk around the lake and enjoy the views the greenery and the city skyscrapers you can also hire paddle boats if you feel energetic this will give spectacular views from the center of the lake.
The other half of the park has a bicycle track running around the green area of the park with a lovely tree line of trees along the track giving you great shade from the sun.
In between the bicycle track you have you will find pathways that will lead you to some nice rock pond gardens and benches were you can sit relax and enjoy and enjoy the chirping of the birds.
Within this park there are also lots of little work out areas with chin up bars and pedal bikes and much more for cardio workouts.
The park also has many little garden areas for engagements or weddings.
During the day the park is pretty quite but when the afternoon sets in you get all the joggers and bicycle riders coming in which brings the park alive but at the moment there is work been done in this park around the lake so it's all closed of to the public till the end of this year so the park has hardly anyone in there i think i was the only one apart from the workers.
They have drained half of the water out of the lake so they can build these new foundation around the inner side of the lake not sure what it's going to be but i will be looking forward to the finished stage.
One thing the butterflies don't seem to be worried about the people missing from the park they are still going about there daily chores.
On my way home i run into a lovely Cactus nursery been a succulent plant lover i just had to stop to have a look at these little fellas and take a few snap shots.
They even had some lovely assorted color and types of Orchids they are such a elegant flower.

Nice big park although I'm curious who plants nice sunflower by the side of the road.
Thank you @ace108 yeah i found that very strange also but people everywhere have different ideas for some reason...lol 😂
Awesome photos.. and so many of them! I have like a... beauty overload, hehehe! The sunflowers in the farms around town are currently under covers, and even those alongside the road are covered ... perhaps there is a bug going around that they found it necessary to cover the blooms. I've never seen that here in California before. Now what fruit is that... is that a mango?
Do you celebrate Father's Day? If you do, then HAPPY FATHER's DAY!!! Take care, my friend @bigsambucca 🥰🌺🤙
Thank you @silversaver888 i got a bit carried away with beauty here and wanted to shoe it all off that fruit is a mango looking fruit but this one is only show not eatable you can you it as a cricket ball though 😂
And thanks for the Father's Day wish you take care and have a great day @silversaver888 😊
the city of Bangkok looks very beautiful in your post, I want to holiday there if this outbreak is over. @bigsambucca😊
It is a beautiful city and hope you can make it over here some day 👍
Yes, of course @bigsambucca. I see the city is Very Beautiful..😊

I do love those awesome tree! I am a big fan of palms and sadly we dont have any that can last outdoors. Great flowers as well!
Thank you @old-guy-photos they do have some great palm trees over here well it is tropical weather they wouldn't survive in cold Michigan unfortunately.

Very interesting :) I didn’t know that Bangkok looks like this.
Oh it's big and beautiful with a population of 16 million people 👍
Wow!! Talk about a thorough post! I just love this park! It definitely is a showplace that they built and I can see why it is a popular place to be. In the midst of such a large city, to be surrounded by such beauty is amazing and there is no stopping of the money when it comes to that. Much like everything else they build, it is over-the-top gorgeous and has everything one can imagine having a day at the park. No expense is ever spared.
The blooms are abundant, the water is enough for everyone to share, nature, the trails...
I cannot thank you enough for giving us a mere sampling of this place. I look at the skyscrapers in the background and am awed by comparisons. All that greenery in the middle of the city, you have to be impressed. I know I am!
All those cacti!!! Yes! I personally won't grow them in my yard because once planted, I cannot get rid of them! LOL But, I love to look at them! You know I appreciate the time and effort you always put into your posts! Sorry it took me so long to get here!
