Santichaiprakan Park in Bangkok Travel

Bangkok travel takes you to Santichaiprakan Park and gets you a cool breeze near Chaophraya river.

You are probably used to The Emmerald Bhuddha, The Grand Palace, The National Museum, and the others around the area; however, if we talk about Santichaiprakan Park, Phra Sumen Fort, many people have not probably known them. They maybe have heard about them, but without knowing where those places have been located. Truly, Santichaiprakan Park is not far from the familiar places that everyone knows well like Khaosan Road, Banglampho Market, The Royal Field and the others.

Moreover,travelling to Santichaiprakan Park is quite convenience, because you can reach it by bus, boat, and in your own car. If you would like to get to there in your own car, you can drive along the route passing the National museum and then turn left and right into Phra Artit Road. After passing Unicef Organization, Phra Arthit Pier, you will arrive at Santichaiprakan Park by five minutes from The Royal Field. If you would like to take the boat, you can get in Chaophraya express boat at any pier and get out off the boat at Phra Artit Pier then turn left to Phra Arthit Road and finally get to Santichaiprakarn immediately.

But, if you would like to journey in free style, you can take any buses passing Phra Arthit Road or Banglampho Market as well. In case of taking the buses passing Banglampho market,you have to get out off the bus at Banglampho market and go straight. When you see an intersection, turn left and walk along footpath. Just few minutes, you will arrive at Santichaiprakan Park which is located at the curve of the road with Phra Sumen Fort before it.

Santichaiprakan Park is in the small size, but the place is pleasant shade and quiet. It is completely good for relaxing and reading. As going to there , I would like to say that it is very good and there are some foreign tourists, but not many crowds like domestic ones. Especially, the Park adjoins The Chaophraya River, you can get the breeze and the scenery with Chaophraya express boats and relieve your strain along the stream. If you have no idea where to go, try to do this.
