Muang Thong Thani Lake is the lake at the center of Muang Thong Thani in Pak Kret district, Nonthaburi province. It's an open lakeside space for walking, running, and relaxing, open all day with no entrance fee. It's an 8-minute walk from IMPACT Exhibition Hall, 10 minutes from IMPACT Arena and Thunder Dome, and 12 minutes from IMPACT Challenger. The spot people are talking about most right now is The Lake Club, a community space on Bond Street that opened in March 2026 and is open daily from 10:00 to 22:00.
The neighborhood's appeal comes from having a wide expanse of water landscaped into the city from the start. Muang Thong Thani began development by Bangkok Land in 1990 on more than 4,000 rai of land, and the lake became the district's lungs, used by locals for morning runs and evening walks. The original Eastin Lakeside Hotel building, built in the 1990s and left vacant for more than a decade after the 1997 Asian financial crisis, has been revived by Paul Kanjanapas as The Lake Club. The original structure, high ceilings, and exposed concrete surfaces were kept, with curved galvanized steel lines inspired by water waves added on top.
For people attending events at IMPACT, the lake is a change of scenery within walking distance, no need to call a car or leave the area. Whether it's a coffee stop before the hall doors open, a lunchtime break, or a long sit-down after work before heading back to the car park, it all fits into the same trip.
Why IMPACT event-goers pick this place

- Beans Coffee Roaster opens at 08:00, so you can grab coffee before the event starts.

What's worth seeing and doing by the lake?
The main activity is spending time by the water: walking, jogging along the lake, or finding a spot to take in the view without rushing. In The Lake Club, trees were planted directly into the hotel's former swimming pool instead of renovating it, creating a green space that grows alongside the neighborhood.
The building itself draws plenty of photos too. The original hotel's tall, open lobby, split between two wings that face the lake, combines exposed concrete walls with curved galvanized steel framing for a modern classic look with a raw structural edge. There's also a vintage-newspaper-style photo booth corner.

How do I get there from IMPACT? Which MRT station? Where's parking?
If you're already at an event, walking is the simplest option. It's about 8 minutes from IMPACT Exhibition Hall, about 10 minutes from IMPACT Arena and Thunder Dome, and about 12 minutes from IMPACT Challenger. The route is an outdoor walk through Muang Thong Thani, not a covered link like the ones inside the exhibition halls, so bring an umbrella at midday or walk in the morning or evening instead.
Coming from outside the area, take the MRT Pink Line directly to Muang Thong Thani Lake station (MT02). Drivers can park either outside or inside The Lake Club building.
- 8-minute walk from IMPACT Exhibition Hall
- 10-minute walk from IMPACT Arena and Thunder Dome
- 12-minute walk from IMPACT Challenger
- MRT Pink Line, Muang Thong Thani Lake station (MT02)
- Parking: available in the outdoor lot and inside the building
Who is it for, and how much time should I set aside?
It suits anyone at an event who wants an uncrowded break. Runners and walkers get the lakeside space, cafe regulars get a work spot with a view, and anyone after food and drinks gets bars and craft beer in the evening. Families with young kids or people bringing pets can use the open space comfortably too, since it's pet friendly.
For a quick walk, some photos, and a coffee, about an hour is enough. For a proper sit-down meal, browsing the shops, and watching the sunset over the lake, set aside 2 to 3 hours. And if you want to stay the whole stretch, from coffee at 08:00 to closing at 22:00, you can do that all in one place.
- A quick stop during a work break: 1 hour
- A meal, browsing the shops, and the sunset: 2 to 3 hours
- A full day: 08:00 to 22:00
- Good for anyone needing a change of scenery, families, runners, and pet owners
Tips for people attending events at IMPACT
If you're registering for a morning session, arrive in the area before 09:00 and grab coffee at the cafe that opens at 08:00 before the 8 to 12 minute walk into the hall, so you skip the queues inside the venue. For afternoon events, a walk by the lake beforehand means less time sitting around in the hall lobby waiting.
The best time to visit is right after events end in the evening. Restaurants and bars stay open until 22:00, so you can sit down for about an hour and avoid the traffic jam as everyone leaves at once. For anyone planning a morning run before the event, The Lake Club has lockers and showers ready to use.
- Coffee before the event: the cafe opens at 08:00, other shops start at 10:00
- Allow 8 to 12 minutes to walk to your hall, and bring an umbrella if walking at midday
- After events end: sit down for about an hour, shops close at 22:00
- Morning runs: lockers and showers available inside The Lake Club
- Drag shows on Thursdays, live music and DJ sets on weekends
