BANGKOK — Dusit Central Park will unveil Thailand’s largest urban roof park on September 3, creating a 7-rai (11,200 square meter) green space that offers panoramic views of Lumpini Park and Bangkok’s skyline.
The botanical roof park, featuring exclusively Thai plants, spans from the fourth to seventh floors of the mixed-use development in Bangkok’s central business district. The facility includes cascading waterfalls, natural trails designed for universal accessibility, and multiple zones for dining and events.
“We wanted to create more than just a prime-location commercial space, but a place that gives back to society, welcoming people of all ages and lifestyles,” said Suphajee Suthumpun, Group Chief Executive Officer of Dusit Thani Public Company Limited.
The roof park represents the first time a prime real estate development in Thailand has created an urban green space designed for public access. The facility connects the project’s hotel, residences, retail, and office components while providing what developers call an “Extended Park View” that visually links with nearby Lumpini Park.
Key features include a Food Passage with local eateries, the D Garden connecting to residents’ private areas, a Bird Nest viewing zone, and a multipurpose amphitheater. Natural trails incorporate universal design principles to accommodate visitors of all ages and mobility levels.
The development follows biophilic design principles, selecting plants that generate oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide and dust, and provide habitats for local wildlife. The space aims to support urban biodiversity while serving as a “green lung” for Bangkok’s central district.
Access is available through BTS Sala Daeng and MRT Silom stations, with direct connections to the project. Multiple city bus routes also serve the location, and parking is available for private vehicles.
The roof park will operate daily from 6 AM to 10 PM, with dedicated elevator access available outside regular Central Park hours. Admission details have not been announced.
La-ead Kovavisaruch, CEO of developer Vimarn Suriya Company Limited, said the project aims to enhance urban wellness and strengthen Bangkok’s potential for sustainable growth. The company is currently selecting an official name from nearly 2,200 entries submitted through a public naming campaign.
