Nagaraphirom Park, Public park near Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand
Nagaraphirom Park is a public green space next to the Grand Palace in Bangkok situated along the Chao Phraya River. It features riverside pathways and seating areas where visitors can stop and rest while enjoying views of the water.
The park was named by the King in 2009 and opened to the public in 2010. Its creation was part of urban development efforts along this historic stretch of Bangkok's riverfront.
The park's name in Thai translates to a space for townspeople, showing its purpose as a gathering place for locals. People use it today to rest and meet with friends, reflecting its role in the everyday life of those living nearby.
The park is located between two piers on Maharat Road and is easy to reach on foot from nearby temples and attractions. Visiting early in the morning or late afternoon is most pleasant as it is less crowded and cooler.
The area was briefly converted into a parking lot in 2016 when an ambitious underground garage project was planned. The project was never completed and the park was later restored.
