Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park (Thai: อุทยาน 100 ปี จุฬาลงกรณ์มหาวิทยาลัย) is a 30-rai (4.8 ha; 12-acre) park located on the campus of Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand.[1][2] It was completed in 2017 to honor the 100th anniversary of the university's founding.[3][4] Designed by landscape architecture firm Landprocess, Centenary Park was designed to serve as a rainwater detention basin, partially inspired by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej's monkey cheeks project.[1][5][6]
