Description and is it worth a visit
There are a lot of parks in Bangkok, and, surprisingly, even with such a shortage and high cost of land, new ones appear. For example, in 2018, a new park was opened in the Pratunam district – Phathumwananurak Park. However, for a hundred years the most popular and largest park in Bangkok is Lumpini Park.
Its area is more than 57 hectares. In this green area there are two lakes where you can go boating; paths for running, cycling and roller skating; fountains; monuments; playgrounds; swimming pool; stage for events. Large monitor lizards live here, turtles and fish live in the pond. If you are used to thinking that a city park is a boring place to walk, then everything is different here, something often happens: mass sports exercises, performances of artists, traditional shows, competitions are held. There are always a lot of people in the park, especially in the evening, when residents of the capital come here to rest en masse after work. With the advent of darkness, the park becomes even more beautiful, the illumination turns on.
Attention! The use of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in the park, the police are watching the order.
