Seri Thai Park, Public park in Khlong Kum, Thailand.
Seri Thai Park is a large green space in the Khlong Kum district of Bangkok, featuring walking paths, outdoor exercise equipment, playgrounds, pavilions, and a fruit orchard. The grounds are divided into distinct zones so visitors can move between open lawns, shaded pavilions, and wooded sections without crossing the same area twice.
The site was originally known as Bueng Khum, a natural pond used by the surrounding community. In 1997, it was renamed to honor the Seri Thai movement, which resisted the Japanese occupation of Thailand during World War II.
The Free Thai Memorial Library inside the park holds documents and objects from the wartime resistance movement. Visitors can spend time there reading about how ordinary Thais organized against the Japanese occupation.
The park is open throughout the year and can be reached by several city bus lines that stop nearby. Because the different areas are spread across a large site, comfortable shoes and enough time to walk between sections are recommended.
Beneath the lawns and paths, the park functions as a water reservoir that helps manage Bangkok's seasonal flooding. This role runs quietly in the background, invisible to most visitors who come simply to walk or exercise.
