there's a huge park right in the heart of Bangkok.
Lumpinee Park....the first public library in thailand is inside this park....
take sometime out in the park (entrance free of charge) and you will be amazed how this park is so often overlooked by travelers.....
early morning, watch chinese thais, old and young, in their uniforms of different colors resembling their groups.....
slow, classical movements taught through generations of the powerful chinese martial arts movements...also known as blood circulation excercise.
as the mid day comes, the park is almost deserted from the heat. a handful of couples and individual sit under the good old trees...reading, mesmserizing, or meditation....
come evening...play time. roller bladers showing off their K2's, bikers ridding around their mountain bikers, muscle men and women working out in the open (sorry, no Gold's Gym here), pet owners walking their dogs....and a few lakes in the parks are speckled with foot peddal boats and canoes....
it's not the usual park, but boats some of the most diversified activites and people from all walks....the park does not intimidate and is never overwhelmed with masses of people....
it's a place that one can cover themselves out of the busy life of shopping, dinning, partying, and indulging in vice.....time out under the trees.
great photo shooting site! jazz festivals (check calendar with tourism authority of thailand)
