Introducing Lumphini Park
Lumpini Park, Thailand, is Bangkok’s first public park. It’s a multi-purpose park, used for a variety of purposes, including diverse recreational activities for the public. The park is shaded by large trees throughout, beautifully landscaped with diverse flowering plants and ornamental trees, and features a large pond. In the past, Lumpini Park served not only as a public park and exercise area but also as a venue for various events, celebrations, ballroom dancing, balls, and many others. Today, Lumpini Park remains a popular public park where people relax, engage in various activities such as exercising, practicing Tai Chi, playing games, listening to music, learning to dance, reading at the library, and occasionally hosting events.
