Lumpini is mostly famous for his huge park. It's a 57 hectare park which offers rare open public space, trees, and playgrounds in the Thai capital and contains an artificial lake where visitors can rent boats. Paths around the park totalling approximately 2.5 km in length are a popular area for morning and evening joggers. Lumpini Park appeals to just about everyone - you'll often find the elderly practicing tai chi and couples lounging by the lakeside, as well as 9-to-5 workers relaxing on park benches or exercising in the evenings. On weekends, this green space is often populated by families and the cheery sounds of children.
