Lumpini Park
Lumpini is situated perfectly, framed by the roads Rama IV and Ratchadamri, (south and west) as well as Sarasin and Wireless (east and north, respectively). It is also opposite Suan Lum Night Bazaar, and within a short walking distance to both Lumpini and Silom underground (MRT) stations.
Named after the birthplace of the Lord Buddha in Nepal, the park is more than half a million square kilometers big, and the habitat of various life forms. Historically, it dates back to the 1920s, and was a gift from King Rama VI to the people of Bangkok.
Lumpini Park appeals to all sorts of people today, from wise elders practicing tai chi, sweethearts lounging at the lakeside, to the odd tourist getting happy on pure oxygen - and every other shade in between. The park is home to ever rarer indigenous flora, a forest park, and some quirky residents... Looming beyond the immediate green, glimmering city skyscrapers punctuate the scene.
A bright and early morning stride or at dusk is the best time to go see grown-ups at play. On weekends, the space is animated by families and the cheery sounds of children. Some of the colourful recreational pursuits at the park include rowing, paddleboats, and a fun outdoor gym.
Before sunset you can sweat it out at free open-air aerobics sessions to high-energy techno tunes. There is also a basketball court if you want to shoot some hoops. Often, local jazz outfits or even a classical orchestra make for fine (and free) late Sunday afternoon entertainment. Mats can be hired for 30 baht. Take a bottle of wine and picnic basket along.
