King Rama IX Memorial Park[a] is a 279-rai (44.6 ha) public park currently under construction in the Dusit district of Bangkok, Thailand.[1][2] The project was initiated by King Vajiralongkorn (Rama X) to commemorate his father King Bhumibol Adulyadej and mother Queen Sirikit.[3] The park occupies the former grounds of the Royal Turf Club of Thailand, also known as the Nang Loeng Racecourse, the land of which is owned by the Crown Property Bureau, and construction is expected to last until 2024.[4] The park has as its central feature a large bronze statue of King Bhumibol, which was unveiled by Vajiralongkorn on 13 October 2022, the sixth anniversary of the late king's death.[5][6]
