Visitor Reviews

Great park Loved by locals as a hike/jogging location The park itself is on a hill, which adds to the workout It has a few locations for power exercise Some yoga and aerobic classes Car parking is very tight and is almost never available, and parking on the road will put cars at risk for the tour busses keep going up and down the hill Motorbike parking is easy and available all of the time Some vendors sell drinks, coconuts, etc. The park is closed at night, but pretty popular in the evening, when the heat dissipates There are some really quiet parts where you can barely hear any city sounds - very relaxing There are local dogs, peaceful, but would be better without them, as I still wouldn't trust a child to run around without adult supervision In addition to some CCTV, security is available on site and checking how things are going on a scheduled basis On top of the hill above the park area is a beautiful temple The toilet is available free of charge near the temple

This is small quite very hilly park that requires a of fitness to walk around it. There are plenty of places to sit if you get tired. The butterfly lights aren't year round but are attractive at night. It has lots of trees. I enjoy visiting it on occasions.

Small be well kept and nicely manicured park on the side of the Big Buddha hill. There is an area of various workout stations here, along with some nice walking paths. If you take the road to the top of this park, there's an area exclusively available for motorcycle parking, which is very useful.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

Dress Modestly

Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.

Mind Your Feet

Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.

Ask Before Photographing

Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
