“An elegant river-crossing bridge and a scenic public park offering views, royal monuments, and quiet green spaces.”
Rama VIII Bridge and Suan Luang Rama VIII are two connected landmarks located in the Bang Phlat area of Bangkok. The Rama VIII Bridge is a striking cable-stayed bridge that spans the Chao Phraya River, known for its distinctive asymmetrical design and graceful lines.
Next to the bridge is Suan Luang Rama VIII, a riverside public park dedicated to King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII). The park features manicured gardens, a royal monument, wide lawns, and riverside walkways ideal for jogging, walking, or unwinding.
Visitors often come here to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, scenic sunsets, and unobstructed views of the bridge reflected over the water. The area is especially popular with couples, photographers, and locals seeking a serene escape in the heart of the city.
Cultural events and evening activities occasionally take place in the park, adding life to its peaceful character. Whether you're looking for a picnic spot or a peaceful place to watch the boats go by, this riverside park delivers charm and beauty.
