Lumphini Park
สวนลุมพินี
The green lung of central Bangkok, with a lake where you can ride swan pedal boats, lawns, and lakeside strolls past leisurely water monitor lizards.
The park was built in the 1920s and covers about 57 hectares, surrounded by CBD skyscrapers. At its centre is a lake where you can rent swan-shaped pedal boats. The running track around the lake is about 2.5 km long, and tai chi and square dancing take place at dawn. Many wild water monitor lizards live in the park. There is no need to panic, but do not feed them. Entry is free. The park can be reached from Lumphini MRT station, Silom MRT station or Ratchadamri BTS station, and in the evening you can continue on to the Silom Road night market.
