“Formerly a major lung of Pattaya that integrated fishing, swimming, and a mini-golf course within a lush forest”
Phanarak Park was once a leading recreation spot in Bang Lamung District, particularly during its peak from the 90s to the early 2000s. The area was designed as an eco-friendly retreat amidst various forest plants on vast grounds. It was a destination where families and peace-seekers traveled to experience fresh air, offering a stark contrast to the bustle of Pattaya city.
A key physical highlight in the past was its comprehensive recreational activities, including a large fishing pond with rental equipment, an outdoor swimming pool, and a mini-golf course surrounded by trees. The area was partitioned into lodging houses and camping spots, making it a hub for campers and seminar groups seeking privacy and closeness to nature.
Although this place is currently closed and does not officially accept tourists, the name Phanarak Park remains remembered as a green space in memory for Bang Lamung residents. For those interested in local history, this site is considered a pioneer model for developing forest areas into early eco-tourism attractions in Chonburi Province.
