This Chinese park was established by Chinese-Thai businessman Mr. Kiarti Srifuengfung to show the long historical connection between Thailand and China, which gave him the opportunity to do business. After his death, his son Chaisiri took care of the completion of the park.

The park was built under impressive Chinese architecture based on Feng Shui rules. In addition to valuable art and culture, the park also shows the historical bond between Thailand and China. The starting point is the great theme of Chinese literature, the Three Kingdoms, which is depicted on glazed tiles in 56 parts in a covered open-air gallery. It covers the epic story of “Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of China's greatest semi-historical tales. As far as is known, this covered walking gallery is the longest in the world, 224 meters. Each story is translated into Thai and English and the philosophical idea behind it. This gallery was made in a year.

The main features of the park are the three pagodas built in Chinese style. Each of them represents different philosophies and meanings. The middle pagoda is the most important and in it is the statue of Mr.Kiarti. This pagoda has four floors with different themes associated with the park. There are also 12 statues, made in China, which are the main characters in The Three Kingdoms history. These are set up behind glass. The following floors are decorated in oils with pieces from the Three Kingdoms history and together are more than 100 meters long. The famous Chinese artist Zang Kexin painted for 5 years (1994 – 1998) on this commission. The fourth floor contains a Buddha representation, Hor Phra Kaew and two important Chinese statues. One can enjoy a magnificent view at this height.

In addition to the two other pagodas, there is more to enjoy in the park. Several warriors are lined up and a number of petrified trees of a few thousand years old are found on the ground. The "Dragon Pool" is a separate pavilion that invites you to take pictures.

The park has reopened after a major overhaul. It is striking that so few people visit this park. It cannot be the price of 100 Baht, not even the number of beautiful objects that can be photographed.

You enter Soi 89. After about 5 km. turn left into Soi 29. Enter the Horse Shoe point and go left around the sports area until the Three Kingdomsdom park (total 20 minutes from Suhkumvit Road).

Soi 89 is on Sukhumvit Road on the left towards Sattahip between Thepprasit Road and Chayapruek 1. On the right opposite Under Water World. On the corner of Soi 89 a 7-Eleven store and a big sign: Satit Udomseuksa Acacdemy.

    Close to me and a beautiful location to relax. It is always wonderfully quiet and often there is no one at all. It is therefore good to hear that it is open again.

    Bedankt,

      Unfortunately, it is unclear when the park is open or not.
      Even the Chinese are often missing!

      The Horse Shoe Point is also often plunged into a deep rest.

    Indeed well worth a visit. The first time about 3 years ago stood in front of a closed door, the year after that it was open.
