Lumphini Park

Lumphini Park is a public park in central Bangkok featuring an artificial lake, open lawns, wooded areas, and pathways spread across approximately 58 hectares of green space. The park offers paddle boats, outdoor exercise equipment, and multiple entrances that connect to public transportation.

King Rama VI established this public park in 1925 by transforming a former royal reserve and named it after Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha in Nepal. This action reflected a shift toward making significant spaces available to ordinary people for recreation and community use.

The park serves as a gathering place where locals practice tai chi and exercise together during early morning hours. People use the pathways and open spaces as part of their daily routine to stay active and connect with neighbors.

The park opens daily from early morning and works best for visits during cooler hours before or after midday. Multiple entrance points make it easy to arrive and leave from different areas depending on your starting location.

The park is home to monitor lizards that can often be spotted near the artificial lake or resting in the trees. These reptiles are a natural part of the ecosystem and a surprising encounter for many visitors.
