Lumpini Park or Lumphini Park is one of the biggest and definitely the most popular park in Bangkok. Due to its size and location in central Bangkok, Lumpini Park attracts local people, who like to come here for jogging and other outdoor activities, as well as tourists exploring the capital of Thailand.

When you’re visiting Bangkok’s attractions and the hot weather of Thai capital gets you (normally it’s really hot in Bangkok throughout the year), getting inside an air-conditioned shopping mall or finding some fresh air in one of the parks are your best options to hide from the heat. If visiting shopping malls is out of the range of your interests while traveling, go to one of the parks in Bangkok and lie down in a shadow. Lumpini Park might be your best choice as it is large and can be conveniently reached by public transportation with two MRT Metro stations located nearby and BTS SkyTrain station being in a walking distance.

In the Lumpini Park you will find lots of greenery and there’s plenty of space for the park never to be too crowded. Just choose a plot of grass or comfortable bench in the shadow of coconut tree and relax.
