Love it!!! The speed of progress in that place is so amazing to me. I remember watching your videos when they first started that park and comparing that to how it is now is astonishing! It is just incredible how fast they develop things there compared to here! To develop a park to look like that here would take a hundred years!! 😅😅😂👍🏼 Well done to Bangkok, they never cease to amaze me. 🙏🏼🇹🇭 I also LOVE the irony of the fact that they turned the tobacco lands into the opposite of smoking; health and fitness!! 😂😂 That is brilliant! 😆 Can't wait to use it all. P.S. I think if you would have bent it like Bergkamp instead, it would have gone in top corner. 😉😉👍🏼🇳🇱⚽️ Next time! 👍🏼😅 Thanks again for the update!! 🙏🏼🇹🇭🇳🇱🍻👍🏼
Thank you for introducing all the sport facilities in the Park, I think most Thai don’t even know these activity playground existed. The Park needs to promote them to the public, so that it would be use more and more especially to the kids in Bangkok.
Looks awesome. When I walked by them 15 days ago they looked closed and I hate to say it ready to be torn down. I am glad I am wrong. Looks like a great place for people!!
thank you so much. We come to BKK occasionally. Have been in this park already, so beautiful to relax and calm down. Walking distance from BTS quite far, so a bicycle rental in this area would be perfect. Warning: better bring your own bottle of drinking water, couldn‘t find a shop. Besides, I vote to add courts for Volleyball and Beach-Volleyball 😉
Wow, excellent idea and very interesting to go and play sport over there especially free and more courts. New check-in for exercise and healthy. 🥰🥰🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭😁😁. Thanks for a very good video.
Great to see pingpong tables and a high ceiling. They just need double the space behind the tables. I guess if there are not many people, the dividers can be moved back.
For years I had suspected that the tobacco barons had wanted to sell the land, but ,perhaps feeling that the opportunity for corruption and larceny were so great , were afraid to go ahead. I am so happy that instead they have contributed in promoting Bangkok as a world-leading city when it comes to brown land reuse and development. ประทับใจมาก!
I am surprised that you chose to be on the boring path rather than walking through the greenery and ponds. Nice video by the way. The ducks must be for the big lake. The days after I said it didnt look like boats would be on the lake again, they started doing it up 😅 They have got to sort out the pipes though. Total mess
For those of you who still think Thailand is third world, ask yourself first where in the US, UK or Europe are there facilities like this? Thanks Jerome for showing us the truth!
"3rd world" is a Political Term used during the Cold War. 1st world sided with the USA. 2nd world sided with the USSR. 3rd world was independent from 1st and 2nd world. The economic term for Thailand is Developing or Emerging. Defines by GDP per Capita.
They did a fantastic job! Spencer got super excited and started jumping up and screaming in excitement when you showed the table tennis area! He is getting very into it and starting lessons soon. He wants to enter competitions eventually. He use to never be able to beat me or Ben and now we can’t even beat him. Hoping our dream to move to Thailand in a couple or few years happens. Seems like they offer more of his interests there over all.
Someone need to tell them to plant trees on each and every square meter. Outdoors can only be enjoyed if there is enough shade. Dense forest cools the area down.
3.09 I can see the small tower at the 2nd fl. They need the coffee shop on that place must be great get some tea or coffee drinking small cafe with biscuit,bread.picnic in the afternoon look more interesting place.
Hi Mr🙏🙏 I have Suan Luang Rama IX Park on my channel. This is also a famous good place in Thailand. After all, it is the park of King Rama 9. You already posted! There is also PHU HIN RONG KLA NATIONAL PARK in northern Thailand, so please take a look.
@@user-gb8oy6lm2p Is that "condense glass" the same as a tempered glass? A soccer ball is capable of shattering a tempered glass window in the event that it is well inflated and travels at a velocity fast enough to create a fatal impact.
The idea of turning a huge tobacco factory complex into a public health park is *superbrilliant* !
Thank you Thai’s King for giving this land and the army for creating this wonderful park . It’s amazing.
OMG I am Thai and never knew Benjakitti park had plans for huge sport centers like that!! WOW!
Thank you so much Jaroen.
This Park is getting better and better.

Haha, you are right, I should have bent it like Bergkamp 🙂
I like this park , big park in the heart of big city
Awesome ! so close to home too !

Impressive free kick skills! Beckham would be jealous.

What a great thing for the community. I bet it's very busy in the early evening and early morning.
Very nice place. This kind of complex should open in many cities in Europe

Can't wait for the ducks! I'll have to check all this stuff out! Thanks for the update
Love them too!
More and more improvements going on
Nice Update from this Park never stop build new things in BKK Thx Jeroen.
Always been so facinated by this as seen from my room at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit
It is like Central Park in NYC. In the future there will be most likely large development around it with high rise housing. BTW: nice three pointer!
Thanks Jeroen. Always good seeing you.
Awesome I was waiting for this kind of update for these places!
Wow, excellent idea and very interesting to go and play sport over there especially free and more courts. New check-in for exercise and healthy. 🥰🥰🙏🙏🇹🇭🇹🇭😁😁. Thanks for a very good video.
I like your video it is beautiful Birds Eye’s view.

Nothing is set in Stone, Remember when they opened the little park i soi 10 oposite Sofitel, no its gone.

Whenever we are around Benjakitti Park we are intrigued by the Millennial Residence towers. Have you ever done a video of those towers?
Hi Gary and Linda, I actually filmed on another channel "Bangkok Expat" ruclips.net/video/QNjoibEVDNU/видео.html
@@globaltravelmate thanks Jeroen!
Perfect Park
Simply love your videos, all time very interesting and informative 🇹🇭❤️😊👍🏼
Great video. I've been looking for a park that has badminton courts!

Jaroen?
Thank you so much for your kindest words on my beloved country.🙏💞💕🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🙏
Bangkok is definitely not third world. Things change when you look around the country.
"3rd world" is a Political Term used during the Cold War.
1st world sided with the USA.
2nd world sided with the USSR.
3rd world was independent from 1st and 2nd world.
The economic term for Thailand is Developing or Emerging. Defines by GDP per Capita.
Yet another good reason to spend more time in Bangkok.
Batting for the USA...
-Golden State Park San Francisco.
-Central Park New York City.
-Lincoln Park Chicago.

Good news and good health for people. Thank you for you updating.
Great video. Amazing to be able to Pickle Ball, on my next stay.
Beautiful grandeur drone shots with nice accompanying music, just like in the movies! Are you doing more videos of the new Rama IX bridge?
That’s so cool 👏
I will be in Bangkok in December if you want a game of Table Tennis.
love those buildings!
ไม่น่าเชื่อว่า รัฐบาลไทย จะใช้พื้นที่นี้เพื่อการดีฬา และสันทนาการ... รอดูวันที่พัฒนาเสร็จสมบูรณ์ครับ..ขอบคุณที่นำเสนอครับ
WOW!!! nice free kick.

1 in de kruising EN een driepunter EN met camera in de hand..niet slecht!:)
Bend it like Ronald Koeman, not a bad shot Jeroen
Nice video. Thanks Man. May I ask where you got the drone shots from?
Do you know any gyms for table tennis that have high ceilings and air conditioning? I'm frustrated with the small clubs.
Thanks for your video, the last year I came here, it is very fresh air😅😅 Finally the basketball court is finished. 😊😊😊
Nice shot, how many takes for that. Haha
Haha, it did take 3 takes. But I was happy with this one :-)
@@globaltravelmateyou could easily play in the current Netherlands national team 😂
Nice place
ฉัน❤ประเทศไทย
They should have dedicated one of the warehouses for a giant outdoor weight training gym.
True
How long is the walk? It seemed quite far. Can I go by motorbike taxi?
It's about a 10 minute walk. You can take a motorcycle through sukhumvit Soi 4 to get there.
@@globaltravelmate Thank you🙏
Area for extreme sport such as skateboard park will coming soon.
Cool, I will make a video when it opens.
🥰🥰🥰
Want to be there for a month
08:39 But I did! 🤭
Isn't it too dangerous to have glass windows in the indoor soccer field?
@@user-gb8oy6lm2p
Is that "condense glass" the same as a tempered glass?
A soccer ball is capable of shattering a tempered glass window in the event that it is well inflated and travels at a velocity fast enough to create a fatal impact.
Looks like a prison yard!! Lol..
I thought there would be a white swan boat for 2 people pedaling on this lake. In the end it actually happened but turned into a duckling boat. 😅🎉🎊🐥🐤🦢
