Lumpini Park: Yes it's Green Here!

A really cool place worth visiting in Bangkok is the Lumpini Park right next to the Sala Daeng BTS Station. Usually you do find awesome green areas around but not directly in Bangkok.
With more than 500,000 sqm this Park represents the largest park in central Bangkok. We chose the primetime of the park at 8 a.m. in order to enjoy the nice morning breeze. At this time many people make use of the various sport possibilities around the park. Especially the morning Tai Chi and Yoga sessions are amazing to observe and if you don't mind the non-English communication problems you are free to join the groups.
An amusing aspect of the park was something I read before in a recommendation:

TAKE CARE OF THE MONITOR LIZARDS!

I mean, they are not aggressive at all, but - man - they are huge and everywhere. We were used to monitors from our trip to Kenia, but in the water of the artificial lake in the middle of the park we spotted a monitor with a length of at least 2.2 meter. So - mind your step, guys!
By the way, when you like to visit the park in the evening, we heard that some guys are doing impressive acrobatics there.

Stay hungry, stay foolish,
Kim & Robert
