Bangkok - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you feel that it is safe to walk, run or hike outside? Are there areas where bike riding is possible? What is the availability and safety of outdoor space for exercising? Are these easily accessible?
It is very safe. You would need to go further outside the city to hike. Bike riding is possible, though most people bike in the parks or the Skylane by the airport. - Mar 2025
Yes, that is, I don't feel threatened by other people. However, traffic is crazy and sidewalks are terrible. There are certain areas where sidewalks just end, and you need to walk in the street. Or, the curb is high, or there is a crazy pole in the middle of the path, which make walking with a stroller, for example, impossible. There are plenty of parks where you can walk, run, or cycle more easily, though downtown. Lumphini park is famous, and huge. I really enjoy Benchakitti park which is very big and has other sport facilities, too (like sports courts, skate park, playgrounds, etc.). Benchasiri park is the most accessible for us and though smaller, is great. - Feb 2025
