Suan Luang Rama IX Park , a new and sizable metropolitan
public park, was born out of the aspirations and fervent desire of a
group of His Majesty the King'loyal subjects to create and dedicate a
park as a token of homage and honour to His Majesty on the occasion of
His Sixtieth Birthday Anniversary in the year B.C. 2530 (A.D.1987), with
the fullest co-operation of the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority.
