breakfast is over we're gonna jump on the bts
and go to the new benjakitti park yeah but the new one we haven't been yet we have to
go to asok station and we only have to work five minutes to get there yeah let's go there
we are at asok bts station and from here it's just like a five minute walk over to benjakitti park
you want to go inside terminal 21 right now or like later
yeah all right let's go to the park before it rains hopefully it won't rain a lot but we'll see
we're back at benjakitti this is where we used to run every day our first month here
and we haven't been in so long because now we don't live here and there is a new park yeah yeah
so here's benjakitti super nice especially for running there's even people running now yeah so
we're walking around benjakitti which is super close to asok and the weather's so nice today
yeah it's not hot it's windy it's lovely we could run here but we don't have clothes i don't want
to run right now but yeah we're trying to find how to get over to the new park here somewhere
and i'm so excited yeah it's so nice like this lake with all the skyscrapers how cute is this
is it raining yeah a little bit it started raining but it's lovely it is lovely right
yeah and it's lovely that there are no lizards here not huge as lumpini park yeah
we never see a lot of lizards here luckily sometimes there are some but
where are you taking me do you know i think the new part is there yeah yeah guys we're lost we
don't know how to get there but yeah we can see the new park is right there we found it
so bangkok really wants to become a more green city and this new benjakitti forest park is huge
not only is the location amazing right in the middle of the city but the design is
also so cool there's tons of skywalks over the park but you can also go down and walk between
all the different ecosystems there's lots of bike paths i'm excited me too what happened
i was sitting on the bench and was wet yeah so wet
so we watched the whole way through and now i think it's the cool part
i hope yeah bike lane that's a motorcycle though that is not a bike
where are the bikes yeah we just asked the guard here and he said that it's okay
without masks so yeah now thailand's finally opening up like normal here are the paths nice
skywalk oh we are here and we can go it looks like a lot of lakes though this is green bridge
so i think that's maybe where we used to walk yeah the green path that goes from benjakitti
to lumpini right so yeah let's try and walk all of it yeah and this seems like spain yeah spain vamos
do you feel like you're in the middle of bangkok right now no it's crazy
right so nice here you can't hear any traffic or anything like you can see like the skyscrapers
are around but it's so cool to see the park and the buildings you know yeah but yeah it does not
seem like you're in a huge like crazy city like it wasn't open when we were living here yeah
we would have been here every day yeah oh over there too it's so green everywhere yeah
yeah there's just all these weird little man-made hills look in the camera they look so cool and
green we will see right there yeah there's like yeah the little paths that go down there
yeah all right i don't know how we get down there but maybe it's the laser
there i don't want to go to a lizard area
look at the platform where those people are too
such a cute little park
look here all these flowers
this is so cute right now yeah with you and all the green and then the city in the distance
nice what do you have to say it's so cool no it's amazing
i mean it's relaxing here yeah it is in the center of bangkok yeah yeah i approve yeah i mean just
listen like you don't hear traffic there's no horns nothing like you can hear birds and stuff
there's a big lotus flower and some giant orange fish they're hard to see unless
they like come up now but this must be so pretty when all the lotus flowers are out
all right so we started by the pond now we're over at the amphitheater so we're gonna go walk
over here you can see it a little and check out the amphitheater and maybe some of like the lower
paths so here it talks a little about the park so this opened on august 12th 2022 that doesn't make
sense it's not open yet so here's like benjakitti pond i guess that's the part we used to run at
and then up here on the top is where you can walk along the green
and that's super cool too because that walkway goes almost the whole way to lumpini we started
here made it here so we're gonna just see this area yeah and go up here let's go to amphitheater
let's go to the amphitheater like a gladiator let's go
we're entering the gladiator theater the colosseum of bangkok
it is i guess they do like concerts here shows yeah it would make sense yeah to have maybe
this is where the party will be august 12th an outdoor concert here yeah it would be really cool
super cool yeah come to a concert here yeah in the middle of the amphitheater
it'll be so cool and these views crazy you have to come back august 12th for the official opening
i don't know what does it mean there must be like an event because it's open right now we're here
okay now we're gonna take this path and see the hills closer yeah
it's so crazy the water it looks frozen i want to touch it but i'm scared
it is water but it looks like ice and then here inside the flower what is that
that's so cool it looks like fruit or something we don't have those outside where we're from
but i like it especially when they open like that's so pretty
and over here there's a bunch that look like they should open i love it
these stairs i don't really they're stairs to nothing it's just a little platform but they
have these cool plants on them and they look like the longer they're here they'll just like grow and
cover the whole thing which would be so cool like if all these vines just totally covered it i want
to see it we have to come back in a couple months and see if it's covered that'd be super cool
what did this a frog sound yeah yeah i asked carles where are the frogs
and he made a sound and then like a frog jumped so i told him keep doing it call
the frogs do you think it was a frog yeah yeah yeah because of your good frog sound
no it's kind of more like a duck it looks like there's construction over here so maybe
they're still building more maybe that'll be open later i don't know kids having fun
don't crash okay i don't know if i've just never seen lily pads before but all the water that's in
them is so cool like it all looks like it's like frozen like that looks like ice and it's not it's
just water isn't that normal i don't know i've never seen it either right but yeah it's so cool
seriously yeah there's another thing that says now we're in the lowland evergreen forest and dry
evergreen forest these trees are huge so cool like all throughout the park here there's all different
like areas so this is like the evergreen forest part where there's like huge trees and then we are
in the swamp area with all like the lotus flowers and lily pads and we're gonna try and get over to
the mangrove forest now because that should look cool here now we're in a whole different area
again so there's all these tall like grassy reed things and so many flowers so nice we're still not
at the mangroves yet though i think those are over there but we're making our way over there
we're starting sweating
yeah it is breezy right now hopefully it doesn't rain though
i like with the buildings behind you and so we're i think we're close to the mangrove part
but it might be closed but look at these birds there's so many birds here just lining the path
but this part of the path is closed they're like pelicans or something but why are there
so many pelicans here we're in the middle of the city and yeah they're just chilling
it is kind of creepy like that they're all just there i want to go
so now we're here freshwater swamp and this is closed
so i don't think we can go to the mangrove forest
maybe the mangroves are still growing yeah
we can go down here though so this is still in the same direction just we can't go up
top so i don't know what that means we'll have to see vegetation from freshwater swamp forest
yeah so it's neat too because it has all those signs that like tell you about everything
oh so many flowers
it's definitely one of my favorite parks here yeah actually yeah same it's right next to lumpini and
i feel like all you hear about is lumpini yeah but yeah this one's so nice but they're also all
three of them are so close to each other between like lumpini this one and benjakitti with the lake
yeah like if you're in one morning you can do yeah yeah yeah it's like easy to walk between
them especially on this little yeah whatever yeah let's go to the path yeah this is where we were
here's where we started benjakitti with the lake and now we're gonna go left up here
here we're on the green it's like what's it called the green mile or something yeah
green mile the path goes to lumpini park yeah so it goes the whole way from right
here benjakitti you can follow it the whole way it's less than a 20 minute walk and
you're at lumpini park he's gone running here before between the two parks and like
it's super chill it's so nice it's two kilometers so nice running here yeah yeah
we're not gonna go the whole way to lumpini today but you can you have to do it yourself
cute so we're just walking up the side street here back to asok but i am so happy we finally
made it to the benjakitti forest park like that was so cool you have to go
now we're on the other skywalk the busy sukumvit yeah back to the real sounds of bangkok
