Lat Pho Park - Phra Pradaeng District

Love it. Green park for out door activities, especially jogging and running.

Have special lane for joging, good place for exercise and photo shooting, have car park, restroom around

Some green around the bridge, very difficult to find a taxi also with grab to come back on bts direction, just 5km from home but isolated. Nice for a Walk and a snack around. If you visit Bangkok for the first time don't lose time to go there.

Bhumibol Bridges. I have used these bridges many times while staying at Samrong. The view from the road over is very panoramic and the approach to the top part of the bridge is a long haul from the start. Lat Pho Park and car park is a geat view of this bridge. You can then walk along Petchahung Alley to Wat Kharn Lard Mon Museum. The Two cable stayed bridges, with main spans of 398 metres and 326 metres, connected by a high level viaduct carry dual three lane carriageways with an additional climbing lane on the approaches. The concrete pylons are diamond shaped with two planes of stay cables that support the outer edges of the main span decks. The overall length of the two crossings together with three elevated approaches is approximately 5 km. Between the two bridges an elevated central interchange connects the main North-South route with the western approach. They span the Chao Phraya River at Samut Prakan Province. H.M. The King has granted the name Bhumibol 1 to the northern bridge across the Chao Phraya River linking Bangkok and Samut Prakan, and the name Bhumibol 2 to the southern bridge that links Phra Pradaeng City and Samrong Sub-district. The two bridges are part of the Industrial Ring Road that connect Rama III Road to Poochao Samingphrai road and Suksawat road. In the middle there is an interchange taking traffic to and from Suksawat road in Phra Pradaeng. The Bhumibol Bridge also known as the Industrial Ring Road Bridge is part of the 13 km long Industrial Ring road connecting southern Bangkok with Samut Prakan Province. The bridge crosses the Chao Phraya River twice, with two striking cable-stayed spans of lengths of 702 metres and 582 metres supported by two diamond-shaped pylons 173 metres and 164 metres high. Where the two spans meet, another road rises to join them at a free-flowing interchange suspended 50 metres above the ground. The bridge opened for traffic on 20 September 2006, before the official opening date of 5 December 2006. It is part of the Bangkok Industrial Ring Road, a royal scheme initiated by King Bhumibol Adulyadej that aims to solve traffic problems within Bangkok and surrounding areas, especially the industrial area around Khlong Toei Port, Southern Bangkok and Samut Prakan Province. According to tradition, all the bridges over the Chao Phraya in Bangkok are named after a member of the Royal Family. In October 2009, it was announced that both bridges would be named after King Bhumibol Adulyadej, with the northern bridge officially named Bhumibol 1 Bridge and the southern bridge Bhumibol 2 Bridge. The unofficial name Mega Bridge was also widely used.

Nice and quite park. Great for running. Serious Photography need a permission. There is toilet near the facility but not allow to use. You have to go to another small building.

Unusual park given the roads above your head. The running track is okay for jogging but for proper running it has too many curves causing you to slow down quite often. I saw a huge turtle here, different to the turtles you usually find in Bangkok parks. I think it's a Black Marsh Turtle. From this park you can go over a small bridge to Bang Krachao and back to Sukhumvit via Bang Na Pier (bicycles and scooters only, no cars). A nice cycle ride.

Well excellent public park for relaxing and workout it was good to be there as per big lake and close to Chaophaya river and under the huge bridge. Recommend for work out and relaxing. No Food No Drink sale there, just bring your own. Rest room available for both accessible.

The view from under the bridge is stunning, but that's also it. In the park there's nothing much actually. Some benches to relax and it's like a field. But it's still worth it for looking at the bridge!
