Dusit Arun, The Biggest Rooftop Garden in Thailand

This is the part I am in love with and I want to come back again and again just to visit this park. Once you step into the garden, you will feel like you are part of the massive Lumpini park in front of you.

The garden was designed in steps where you can walk along the walkway which gradually leads you to the next level and check points around the garden area. The “Bird Nest Viewpoint” is the main check point which is located in the middle of the garden. Here you can go inside the bird nest and take a nice photo of the Lumpini park with the high-end office and residences buildings in the background.
