A beautiful green lung within a concrete jungle of a busy city nearby MRT Lumphini Station and Si Lom Station Bangkok. I bought an MRT traveler card that cost 120/-Thai bath. My intention is going around and searching for what Bangkok has to offer rather than the commercial shopping districts or those places that crowded with people with special needs or interests.
I came to know this place mainly by the name of "Lumbini"at the Shukhumvit MRT station and its sound similarly to the birthplace of the Lord Buddha in Nepal. Lumpini Park is a multi-purpose park. Many activities are provided for citizens and tourists. The park is a green area. There are a lot of trees, beautiful flowers, large lakes, and various types of animals.
There are not many tourists today and surprisingly the park is full of welcoming energy, with its natural beauty, fresh and clean air and most importantly is surrounded by many trees. I was amazed that I had encountered of a "surprised" visitor , the monitor Lizard.
Lumpini Park was created in the 1920s by King Rama VI on royal property.This place was a museum, where many products and natural resources were shown, then after World War 1 , it was rebuilt into the first park in Bangkok. A statue of the king stands at the southwestern entrance to the park. It was named after Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha in Nepal,and at the time of its creation stood on the outskirts of the city.
