  • Early morning (7-8am) this huge "green island" in the middle of Busy, busstling Bangkok is a not what you might expect...

    All very man made, the park has artificial lakes where you can hire pedal boats, small playgounds, huge concrete paths winding through the park, and lots and lots of grass...

    The people there are also not what you expect. It seemed to be (apart from an exercise circuit) a place where people would come to feel liek they arent in the city any more.

    Thai Chi classses are amazing to watch.
    Numerous groups of joggers, old women talking....lots of expats of tourists running...
    my words cant really describe it- but its huge chane from what "is " Bangkok...

    Along the fences of the park are hundreds of street vendors- a perfect place to grab a delicious and hgarty breakfast while observing all around!!!

    From Khao San (where i was staying) i caught a taxi for afew hundred bhat...(well worth it so i was told by an expat living there). Its also located just beside the sky train!
    (The sky train is an experience in itself too... and from there can take you to Sapan Taksin where you could take the boat to Grand Palace)!
