Where the Quest Begins

Lumpini Park Bangkok

Although it is one of Thailand’s major metropolitan areas, the city of Bangkok is also extremely well known for its greenery and beautiful parks. Tourists staying in one of the Bangkok business hotels, or of course one of the luxury resorts, often enjoy the chance to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city for a brief stroll through a luscious park. Sometimes there are interesting attractions, such as museums or thematic elements that also draw visitors to a particular park.

Lumpini Park lies right in the middle of the main business district of Bangkok, and it is not uncommon for business people to pack a lunch and enjoy their mid-day break in the park. This is a great way to reset one’s mind and refresh their spirit for the demands of the rest of the day. The Lumpini Park features a man made lake that fits naturally into the greenery and adds an additional sense of serenity to it. There a are a variety of boat rentals available to park visitors at the lake, and it can get pretty busy on weekend afternoons. More hotel information here

Bicycling is a great way to stay fit, and the multiple paths through the park offer the perfect opportunity for the avid, or even beginner cyclist. It is important to note that cycling is only allowed during the day, and at particular times. One of the interesting aspects of the park is that it has the city’s first public library and also its dance hall. One of the major summer events that takes place each year is the Concert in the Park festival series. This popular event features guest performances from the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra, and other classical music groups. These concerts take place in the Palm Garden area of the park.
