Seri Thai Park, Public park in Khlong Kum, Thailand.
Seri Thai Park is a 56-hectare green space in Khlong Kum with walking paths, outdoor exercise equipment, playgrounds, pavilions, and a fruit orchard. The layout provides visitors with different areas for walking, exercising, and relaxing throughout the grounds.
The site began as Bueng Khum pond and was renamed in 1997 to honor the Seri Thai resistance movement during World War II. The renaming marked recognition of the role this location played in Thailand's fight against occupation.
The Free Thai Memorial Library within the park preserves documents and artifacts from the World War II resistance period. Visitors can learn about the Seri Thai movement that opposed Japanese occupation during that era.
The park is accessible year-round and reachable via multiple BMTA bus routes, making it easy for visitors to arrive. Various facilities like paths, equipment, and pavilions are spread across the grounds so visitors can easily move between different areas.
The park serves a dual purpose as a recreation space and as a water reservoir for controlling Bangkok's flooding. This practical function allows authorities to manage floodwaters while providing visitors with a place for recreation and exercise.
