Bangkok Opens Thailand's Largest Sky Garden at Dusit Central Park

A new elevated oasis brings 7 acres of green space to the heart of Thailand's capital

Bangkok has unveiled its newest landmark destination that's already capturing the attention of content creators and tourists alike. The Dusit Arun at Dusit Central Park, Thailand's largest sky garden, officially opened its doors on September 11, 2025, offering visitors a unique elevated park experience right in the city center.

A Floating Garden Above Bangkok

This impressive 7-acre (11,200 square meter) sky garden isn't just any ordinary park. Built across multiple levels from the 4th to 7th floors, it creates what designers call an "Extended Park View" that seamlessly connects with the famous Lumpini Park below. The result is a breathtaking green corridor that makes Bangkok feel more like a garden city than a concrete jungle.

The project comes from Viman Suriya Company Limited, a joint venture between the Dusit Thani Group and Central Pattana Group (70:30 split), the same developers behind the world-class Dusit Central Park mixed-use development and The Residences at Dusit Central Park luxury housing project.

The Story Behind the Name

The name "Dusit Arun" carries deep meaning that connects to Bangkok's heritage. "Dusit" refers not only to the famous Dusit Thani hotel that has been part of Bangkok for over 60 years, but also means "peaceful land" - like a serene heaven that's cool, shaded, and beautiful.

"Arun" means the first light of dawn, reflecting silver and golden hues as the sun rises over the horizon. It's not just about sunlight - it symbolizes new beginnings for both nature and people. The name also draws inspiration from Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), Bangkok's iconic symbol of the morning light, whose architectural influence can be seen throughout the project's design.

Eight Must-Visit Highlights

The sky garden features eight distinct areas, each designed to offer different experiences throughout the day

1. Dusitpini Amphitheatre

This versatile recreational space serves multiple purposes - from quiet relaxation spots to meeting points and event venues. Visitors can enjoy workshops, art performances, music shows, and mini-events while taking in stunning views of the garden, Lumpini Park, and Bangkok's sprawling cityscape.

2. Bird Nest Viewpoint

This observation deck offers seamless panoramic views connecting Dusit Arun with Lumpini Park, creating the rare sight of a massive green space in the heart of the city. The viewpoint provides perfect photo opportunities and stunning city skyline views, especially beautiful during sunrise and sunset.

3. Sawasdee Bangkok Viewpoint

From this elevated vantage point, visitors can see the lush greenery of Dusit Arun extending toward Lumpini Park, creating a valley-like atmosphere in the middle of the city. It's an ideal spot for morning coffee while watching the first light of day.

4. The Terrace

Located near the Food Passage connecting the garden to Central Park Offices, this activity area features an eye-catching design with gray tiles alternating with blue glass and fountains. It serves as both a meeting point and an Instagram-worthy photo spot with an international vibe.

5. Cascade 2513

This waterfall area, surrounded by various aquatic plants, draws inspiration from the "Heaven's Waterfall" - a 9-tier waterfall that's been an iconic feature of Dusit Thani Bangkok since its establishment in 1970 (2513 in the Thai calendar). The flowing water creates natural breezes, offering a cool, peaceful, and luxurious atmosphere that feels like paradise in the city center.

6. The Plaza

A green lawn area perfect for leisurely walks and recreational activities close to nature. The cooling mist from Cascade 2513 makes this space so comfortable that visitors often want to spend the entire day here.

7. D Garden

This large green space is reserved for residents of The Residences at Dusit Central Park and guests of Dusit Thani Bangkok. It's perfect for relaxing walks among beautiful flowers and plants, offering fresh colors and fragrant scents. As the highest level of the sky garden, it provides unique views different from other areas.

8. The Courtyard

Another activity space for Dusit Thani Bangkok guests, located within D Garden, suitable for hosting various small-scale events in a casual atmosphere.

Family-Friendly Features for Everyone

The sky garden has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate families of all types:

• Pet-Friendly Areas: Dedicated pets' areas where furry family members can run and play. The entire garden welcomes dogs and cats, requiring only strollers, leashes, and cleaning supplies.

• Joyful Playground: A dedicated area where children can enjoy various fun activities.

• Natural Trail: Designed with Universal Design principles, making it accessible for elderly visitors and wheelchair users.

These inclusive features make Dusit Arun a true happiness destination that welcomes people of all ages, genders, and lifestyles.

A Green Oasis in the Urban Jungle

What makes this sky garden truly special is its commitment to using 100% Thai native plants, creating an authentic local ecosystem elevated above the city. This isn't just about aesthetics - it's about creating a quality green space that provides both physical and mental wellness benefits for Bangkok residents and visitors.

The garden offers a much-needed escape from the city's hustle and bustle, providing a space where people can reconnect with nature without leaving the urban core. The seamless integration with Lumpini Park creates an unprecedented green corridor that's changing how people experience Bangkok.
