Getting to Benjakitti Park & QSNCC by MRT

Benjakitti Park and the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre sit right next to each other on the MRT — one of the most direct station-to-attraction connections anywhere on Bangkok’s rail network.

What’s here

Benjakitti Park is a newer, expanded forest-and-lake park bordering the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre (QSNCC), with elevated walkways through wetland forest, a lake with paddleboat and kayak rental, and noticeably fewer crowds than Lumpini. QSNCC itself hosts major conventions and exhibitions, and is a useful landmark even if you’re not attending an event there.

Getting there

Getting to Benjakitti Park and QSNCC

Leg	From	Mode	Time	Notes
1	MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre (Blue Line), Exit 3	Direct connection	—	Exit 3 links straight into the convention centre
2	QSNCC, rear/lakeside exit	Walk	~5 min	Short walk to the park’s main entrance

The station name is literally the convention centre’s name, which makes this one of the least ambiguous station-to-attraction routes in the city — you genuinely cannot get lost between the two.

Practical tips for the visit

•          The elevated wetland walkway is the park’s standout feature — a raised boardwalk through forest and marsh that feels distinctly different from Bangkok’s other parks.

•          Paddleboat and kayak rental on the lake is a good option if you want more than a walk — check current rental hours on arrival, as they can vary by season.

•          Much quieter than Lumpini, especially on weekdays — a better choice if you want a genuinely calm break from the city rather than a busy local exercise scene.

•          Combine with QSNCC if there’s an exhibition or event on — check what’s running before you go, since the convention centre regularly hosts public expos worth a stop.

Our take

This is the easiest, least-ambiguous park route on this whole list — the station name tells you exactly where to get off, and the walk from there is short and clearly signed. If Lumpini feels too busy on a given morning, this is the quieter alternative worth the short MRT ride further out.

Frequently asked questions

• Is Benjakitti Park free to enter? Yes — it’s a public park with no entry fee; paddleboat and kayak rental on the lake are paid extras.

• Is Benjakitti Park bigger than Lumpini Park? The two are broadly comparable in size following Benjakitti’s recent expansion, though they have quite different layouts — Benjakitti centers on wetland forest and a lake, Lumpini on open lawns and paths.

• Can I walk between Benjakitti Park and Lumpini Park? It’s a long walk (several kilometers) — better treated as two separate MRT trips rather than one connected outing.
