If you are looking for a chill spot to enjoy the cool breeze in the evening on holiday, "Chao Phraya Sky Park" is a destination not to be missed. This park was created on the unfinished structure of the Lavalin electric train on the Phra Pok Klao Bridge, becoming the world's first sky park across the river that connects the Phra Nakhon side and the Thonburi side, offering a unique experience of walking above the water that cannot be found anywhere else in Bangkok.
The most recommended time is during the "sunset" when the soft golden sunlight begins to shine over the Chao Phraya River. You will see a stunning panoramic view. On one side, you will see the prangs of Wat Arun Ratchawararam and Wat Kanlayanamit standing majestically, while on the other side, you will see the modernity of tall buildings and the Memorial Bridge reflecting on the shimmering water. The atmosphere during this time is cool and very romantic, perfect for a stroll with a loved one or to sit and rest your eyes watching the sunset after work.
The park is beautifully landscaped with elevated walkways, seating areas, and green spaces filled with various plants that help you feel refreshed. In addition to being a great viewpoint, it is also a popular place for photographers to capture the colors of the evening sky that change from orange to indigo before the lights from the bridge and surrounding buildings begin to illuminate, creating "happiness" and relaxation in a short holiday trip.
Getting here is very easy. You can take the MRT to Sanam Chai Station (Exit 4) or take the Chao Phraya Express Boat to Saphan Phut Pier. After enjoying the view of the sky park, you can also walk to find delicious food at Saphan Phut or Pak Khlong Talat. This holiday, try changing the atmosphere and take a walk on the sky park. I guarantee you will fall in love with Bangkok in a new perspective.
