This is another pleasant green area in the city, located in the near the Chatuchak Market. It’s a bit outside the city but very accessible by public transport. It’s a series of several parks: Rot Fai Park and Gardens has a butterfly garden, insectarium, and series of gardens; the botanical gardens at Queen Sirkit Park; Wachirabenchatat Park, which has bicycle and running paths; and Chatuchak Park, which is the second largest public park in Bangkok.
This is an opportunity to put together one of the longest sustained off-road runs in Bangkok, more so than other parks. A loop around the paths of Chatuchak Park is a flat 3.4 km (2.1 miles). With all four of the parks, and the various roads and paths, it’s possible to run 6+ km (4 miles) without overlapping. There is outdoor gym equipment in Chatuchak Park. On weekends, the famed Chatuchak Market is nearby.

Bangkok's "Central Park" is one of the most popular running spots in the city. A 2.5 km track with distance markers. There are lovely gardens and decent shade. Video Highlights! Combine with Benchakitti Park for a longer run.
Located in a busy neighborhood next to the Convention Center, this is another popular place to run in Bangkok. ~2 km paved path around an artificial lake, and another 3 km of paths in newly expanded section. An elevated path connects to Lumphini Park!
Opened in 1998, Santiphap Park ("Peace Park") features pleasantly shaded paths, which are good for running. It's about 1 km around the park, so runners will have to do some laps to get in some distance.
The largest park in Bangkok, with gardens, a lake, and a series of bike and running paths. Some 8 km of paths, including Nong Bon Lake Park. A bit tough to get to, but worth the journey.
An island oasis in Bangkok, referred to as the city's 'green lung'. It's an extensive area, relatively free of traffic and commercial development. One can put together 15k+ of running on the roads and alleys, including a series of elevated wooden paths. Video highlights!
This park located 30 km west of Bangkok features possibly the tallest free-standing Buddha statue in the world. Popular for running, as there's a 2.5 km path, which has trees and good views.
