Arsomsilp-Designed Bangchak Commemorative Park Receives Honour Award at MLAA 2026

Mr. Chaiwat Kovavisarach, Group Chief Executive Officer and President, Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited, congratulated Arsomsilp Community and Environmental Architects on receiving an Honour Award for its design of the “Fulfilling Societal Happiness Commemorative Park in Honor of His Majesty the King’s 72nd Birthday by Bangchak.” Submitted as Bangchak Under Highway Park, the project received the Honour Award in the Professional Category - Landscape Design Awards (International Project) at the Malaysia Landscape Architecture Awards 2026. Organized by the Institute of Landscape Architects Malaysia (ILAM), the awards recognize landscape architecture projects from Malaysia and other countries. Ms. Chatchanin Sang, Executive Director and Architect at Arsomsilp Institute of the Arts, recently accepted the award on behalf of the project team.

Located along the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway adjacent to the Sukhumvit 50 exit ramp, the park was developed to commemorate the auspicious occasion of His Majesty the King’s 6th Cycle, 72nd Birthday Anniversary on 28 July 2024. Bangchak Group supported its construction and development in collaboration with the Expressway Authority of Thailand and the Khlong Toei District Office, with Arsom Silp Institute of the Arts responsible for the design. The project transformed underutilized land into a public park for the community under the “Park for All” concept, in alignment with the Bangkok Governor’s “15-Minute Pocket Park” policy. The park was subsequently handed over to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, with the Khlong Toei District Office responsible for its ongoing care and management. It provides green space for community activities, promotes health, and enhances the quality of life of urban residents, while demonstrating how sustainable design can be integrated with the practical use of public space.
