Shortest lap to longest
1Buak Haad Park
Buak Hat Park, in the southwest corner of the old city. Shady, with a pond, but a lap is under five hundred metres, so it's best for easy evening runs.
2Royal Park Rajapruek
The plaza in front of Royal Park Rajapruek. It's outside the ticket gate, so it's free, with a flat one kilometre track.
3Railway Park
Right across from the train station. Big trees over the whole park, and the outer loop is about one kilometre.
4Rama IX Lanna Park
Rama Nine Lanna Park in the north. One lap around the big lake is about one point four kilometres.
5Ang Kaew Reservoir
At the university. One and a half kilometres a lap, with Doi Suthep straight ahead. Go at sunset.
6Provincial Park
The provincial park by the city hall, with three ponds. The full loop is two kilometres.
7700th Anniversary Stadium
The seven hundredth anniversary stadium. The outer loop is a bit over two kilometres, and it gets busy in the evening.
8Huai Tueng Thao
A little further out, Huai Tueng Thao. Twenty baht to get in, then one four kilometre lap with mountains all around.
