Klong Prem Prison เรือนจำคลองเปรม- Now Beautiful Rommaninat Park

Rommaninat Park or spelt Romaneenart Park สวนรมณีนาถ; lit. 'park of woman who was regent', commonly known as Khuk Kao คุกเก่า "old prison" is a public park in Bangkok. Located between Siriphong and Maha Chai Roads, Samran Rat Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District between Giant Swing, Wat Suthat and Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre. The total area is about 11 acres.

The park is located on the former site of Klong Prem Prison เรือนจำคลองเปรม, built on the royal initiative of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) in 1890, later in 1972 renamed to Bangkok Remand Prison เรือนจำพิเศษกรุงเทพ. Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn (later King Maha Vajiralongkorn (Rama X)) presided over the official opening of Rommaninat Park and Corrections Museum on August 17, 1999.

The park is not the biggest or the newest in the city but it adds a bit of character to a concrete jungle that is Bangkok. It’s also nice to see a former prison that has a new life that is not to punish but to reward the residents of the city with a bit of nature. While walking the grounds you can see the old buildings of the prison along with trees and flowers. It’s something I’ve never experienced before and I am happy to share it with everyone else.
