If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the view of the old city in a peaceful atmosphere, "Pom Mahakan Park" is a place you must visit. After the new landscape improvement, this historical area has become an open and clean park, but still retains the elegance of the unique white fortress with its boundary markers, one of the fortresses built to protect the city since the reign of King Rama I.
The highlight of visiting this park is taking a stroll along the old city walls and admiring the scenery of "Ong Ang Canal" that flows parallel to the park area. This canal is not just a waterway, but an important waterway that once nourished the lives of Bangkok people in the early Rattanakosin period. It was both a trading center and a transportation route that connected the lifestyles of people in the past. Looking at the water flowing past the ancient fort is like going back in time to experience the roots of Bangkok closely.
In the evening, when the sun sets, Pom Mahakan Park becomes a very beautiful viewpoint. The lights from the surrounding area will start to light up, reflecting off the walls and the water surface in the Ong Ang Canal, giving a completely different feeling from walking around in a shopping mall. It is ideal for taking a walk, taking photos, checking in at Thai architecture, or sitting and reading a book on a holiday, which helps create "happiness" very well.
With its location close to Loha Prasat and the Golden Mount, you can easily plan a One Day Trip in this area. When the modernity of the public park meets the sacredness of the riverside history, the new look of Pom Mahakan is a destination not to be missed for anyone who loves cultural and natural travel in the heart of Bangkok.
