As part of an attempt to keep fit and enjoy what little green space we have in Bangkok, I have been a regular visitor to Benjakitti Park and its recently added section known as Benjakitti Forest Park. The new site, situated on land formerly occupied by the state tobacco company, has been transformed into a green space with different forest types such as mangrove, lowland forest swamp and so on.
From the middle of March until the end of September, the Creative Economy Agency (CEA), with support from the Tourism Authority of Thailand and the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau is hosting a pilot programme of art- and music-related activities and performances under the title "Unfolding Bangkok".
