LOCAL GUIDE & ATTRACTIONS
Lumpini Park
Premier green space in the centre of the city
It’s now when its paths become t'ai chi classes, and others perform mass aerobics or play acrobatic takraw. There are even open-air gyms. Its shaded grounds also refresh lazier souls: there’s a restaurant to the north-west, and even more picnickers than usual attend free Music in the Park concerts. By night, the perimeter becomes a soliciting ground: women on the east, men on the west.
Named after Buddha’s birthplace in Nepal, the capital’s best green enclave was donated by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1925, whose statue dominates the main (south-western) entrance. It’s most interesting around dawn and dusk, when its pagoda and lakes (pedalos can be hired) are circled by joggers.
