About

Lumphini Park was Bangkok's first public park, and it is still the city's great shared back garden: a large lake ringed by shade trees and paths, on the edge of the Silom business district. Early mornings belong to joggers and tai chi groups, and the park stays open into the evening, long after the midday heat has passed.

It suits anyone staying around Silom, Sathorn or Ratchadamri who wants a run, a walk or simply an hour outdoors without leaving the center, and families looking for space and a boat on the water.

The lake and the paths

The lake is the heart of the park, and swan-shaped paddle boats and rowing boats can be rented to get out on it. The paths around it are used by runners and walkers, and the lawns by people exercising, playing music and games, or reading in the shade.

King Rama VI and the park's history

A statue of King Vajiravudh, Rama VI, erected in 1942 to commemorate the construction of the park, stands in its grounds. In earlier decades the park was also a place for parties and ballroom dancing, a tradition that survives in its weekend dance classes.

Facilities for every age

The Tourism Authority of Thailand lists a library with books and videos, the Lumpini Youth Center for children's sport, a senior citizens' club in Lumpini Hall that runs the social dancing classes on Saturdays and Sundays, and Lan Tawan Yim, the Smiling Sun Ground, a space for people with disabilities with playgrounds and dedicated parking. A food center sells meals and drinks, and on the last Sunday of each month the park hosts Buddhist merit-making, with food offered to monks.
