Lumpini Park, Bangkok

wonderfull place to relax during day,and entertainment at night brilliant.i spend two nights on arrival,and two nights before departure when at work or visiting family.

Lumpini Park provided a wonderful after work escape and weekend recreation. Lots of fun to be had on the paddle boats, firming up one's leg muscles, or just sit down and watch the multitude of activities. Join in the aerobics classes ( although rather rough on body parts on the concrete ). Concerts in the park were popular events, great atmosphere and food. Only problem I found was trying to cross the busy road to gain access to the park, I usually waited for local people to cross and attached myself to them, foreigners were easy game for the tuk-tuk drivers and taxis! If you are in Bangkok for any length of time I thoroughly recommend spending time in Lumpini Park.

I recommend going to the night bazaar on Friday or Saturday. Yes, it is crowded, but it is fun. The live entertainment is fun. The Gondola is great! Do check out Doi Tung. Quality!!!!

This is a wonderful park to get away from the traffic and bustle. If in the area, get up very early one morning and go! It will be full of joggers, thai chi, fan dancers and all kinds of music, people and smells. Go to the only food area for a chinese/thai breakfast and some authentic thai coffee. Just watch and enjoy. Evenings are once again filled with exercisers, walkers and music. They have regular concerts in the park. All free. Don't forget to keep on eye on the pond for the 'Thai alligators' basking on the banks.

Lumpini park is a great escape for people who wish to get away from the busy town to relax and enjoy a tranquil moment. I loved the view of the lake with a water fountain in the middle. It was wonderful to see families bonding through boat rides on the lake. The environment is very clean and the plants are very well taken care of. I do not know if it is the same on other days as I happened to be there when Queen Sirikit of Thailand was officiating some programs of the scouts and girl guides movement. Go visit Lumpini Park when you are in Bangkok City. Seong 25/11/2006
