Rommaninat Park
สวนรมณีนาถ
The 1890 prison grounds turned public park — watchtowers still standing, Corrections Museum in the old cells. The old town's third green space.
The park on the old city jail's grounds — watchtowers and cell blocks remain as the Corrections Museum amid the lawns. Strange, calm, and very Rattanakosin.

Using the park
- Bangkok's public parks generally run about 04:30 to 21:00 — the city exercises before the heat and after it.
- Midday is punishing from March to May; dawn and the hour before dusk are what these spaces are for.
- Water monitors are residents, not an emergency. Give them room and they'll ignore you.
