Chuvit Garden: A Green Oasis with a Controversial Legacy

Chuvit Garden, located in Bangkok, serves as a tranquil retreat in an area typically devoid of greenery. Established as a promise from Chuvit Kamolvisit, the park is woven into the city’s complex social fabric.

Founded as part of Kamolvisit's political campaign in the early 2000s, the park occupies land previously owned by him during a tumultuous period of his career. The garden features well-maintained lawns, trees, and walkways, providing a rare natural environment in Bangkok. Its creation was a response to urbanization, intended as a space for relaxation and reflection amid the surrounding chaos.

  • 🎨 Artistic Installations: Features sculptures and cultural artworks scattered throughout.
  • 🏃‍♂️ Walking Paths: Well-paved paths for joggers and casual walkers.

Chuvit Garden is free to enter, making it accessible for tourists, families, and anyone seeking a break from city life.
