Sanam Luang is an open field in front of Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace, Bangkok, Thailand. Sanam Luang is located in the Phra Nakhon district, the historic center of Bangkok.

It was written in the Royal Chronicle as follow that : "In front of Wat Mahathat, Sanam Luang lies between the Royal Palace and the Palace to the Front. When royal cremation was held at the Phramen Ground, the pyre set up in the centre with the Royal Palace Pavilion to the south and the one of the Prince of the Palace to the Front to the north. The music from the Royal Palace and from the Palace to the Front would be played on opposite sides of Sanam Luang".

Sanam Luang was officially known as Thung Phra Mane (the royal cremation ground). It has been used as a site for the cremation of kings, queens and high-ranking princes since the reign of King Rama I.

However, you will find people out for an evening stroll or a weekend afternoon picnic all year round. From late February until late April or May, the park is the main place to observe traditional Thai kite flying.
