Pink Park

This one came highly recommended by multiple people in the Bangkok scene, even though Mattias didn't get to skate it himself on this trip. And honestly, that kind of consistent word-of-mouth from people who know their spots carries weight.

Sitting under the elevated highway over Somdet Saranrat Maneerom Public Park in Ekkamai, it's got a natural shelter going for it – which in Bangkok means you can skate it from morning through to late without the sun turning the session into a survival exercise. The setup is proper too: pyramids, flat banks, rails, ledges and kickers, with a range of ramps that works for both beginners finding their footing and experienced skaters looking to put in a solid few hours. It might not have the raw DIY soul of some of the other spots on this list, but it earns its reputation as one of Ekkamai's more accessible and well-rounded public parks.

One to put on the research list, especially if you're based on that side of the city.

New Petchburi Rd, Khet Ekkamai, Bangkok 10310. Open daily, all hours. Free public park.
