Top ways to experience Lumpini Park
The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Silom
Despite the lack of any major tourist attractions, this lively neighborhood is a favorite of many. Whether it's the (somewhat naughty) nightlife of Soi Patpong, the various handicraft night markets or the plethora of dining options that tickle your fancy, a night out in Silom is a must on every itinerary. It's worth a stop during daytime, too: join office workers on a quest to tasty street food during lunch and shop at Silom Complex for a great mix of Thai and international stores. After a day of strolling around the congested sidewalks, a visit to Silom's Lumphini Park, Bangkok's answer to NYC's Central Park, is a welcome change of scenery.
How to get there

- BangkokSachseBangkok, Thailand41,880 contributionsGood Park for Red Cross Fair!We took MRT from Asok/Sukhumvit MRT station to Silom MRT station. We entered Lumpini Park at the main gate. There was the Red Cross Fair at the Lumpini Park. There were many food vendors and merchandise shops and kid area at the park. The food was average. The park was crowded on the Monday night. The park is easy to navigate and good for walking.Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 December 2022
- Iman IkhwanKuala Lumpur, Malaysia5 contributionsGreat place to wind down and calmIt was actually a great place to wind down and rest. The city of Bangkok can be quite chaos sometimes and I was from somewhere taking the train to reach here. It was completely different environment than outside of the park. Outside of the park it was quite tense with the traffic and people, but when I entered the park I feel so calm and peace although I am still inside the city. People are calmly walking/jogging and exercising. Some people are just sitting on the bench enjoying the view, and some are enjoying the activity that they are doing. Although, there was a lot of big lizard around in the park, which I am scared of it because in my country lizard and human does not get along well. But here it seems that no one is bother by that and the lizard seems okay with as if the human and lizard are fine cohabitate. Overall, it was a great place to wind down and take a minute from the city.Visited February 2023Written 24 February 2023
- karamelcoffeeSingapore, Singapore71 contributionsGreat place for children and families away from BKK's madnessReally nice place to go in the middle of busy bangkok, great for kids and families. We went on the swan boats twice (it was free) and our 4 year old had a fantastic time. Bring food and snacks for an extended picnic, lots of space to camp. Can get a little warm in the tropics.Visited March 2023Written 19 March 2023
- Ed DSwansea, United Kingdom550 contributionsSuperb relaxing green space in a busy cityThe largest park in Bangkok and a welcome relief from the bustle and noise of this huge city. Classed as the Central Park of Bangkok it has lakes with boats for hire, food outlets, monitor lizards, cats and lots of green space for picnics or just a relaxing stroll. Beware it can get very hot. Van be accessed from Sala Daeng BTS station or via the skywalk from Benjakitti park (see other review). Well worth a visit if only to chill out.Visited February 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 19 March 2023
- leshy-travelBydgoszcz, Poland276 contributionsLumphini Park - nice place in central BangkokLumphini Park is the first public park in Bangkok. Here you can relax and practice various sports. Attractions for children were also taken care of. This makes a visit there ideal for: tourists, couples and families. The lake and a lot of flora and fauna make this place an oasis of peace in the very center of the capital of Thailand. Facilities such as: space for activities for people with disabilities and special car parks have also been prepared. There is also a statue of King Rama VI built in 1942 to commemorate the creation of the park. I had the opportunity to visit Lumphini Park several times and I remember my visits there with pleasure.Visited October 2022Written 6 April 2023

- Ticket27Kent, United Kingdom47 contributionsAn oasis of calmA lovely and quiet location away from the buzz of the city. Clean and welcoming. Lovely lake, paths and skirt meant of trees and flowers. The monitor lizards were amazing to see. The only disappointment is the total lack of refreshments available and the pedalos are only open 2 days a week.Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 14 August 2023
- OliverBangkok, Thailand4 contributionsThe best public park in busy city, BangkokLumpini park is located in the center of the city. Anyone getting a chance to explore the city will often stop to rest at this peaceful park. I see some people visit for different purposes like partying, exercising, or even dating. For me, I usually go for a jog after school. The fresh air together with a serene blue sky always keeps me relaxing. Every time, I get stressed from work, I come and sit by the pond to appreciate the beautiful city view for some time. That really helps me a lot. That's why I will recommend Lumpini Park. It is a must to visit once in a life time when traveling to BKK.Visited September 2023Travelled soloWritten 3 October 2023

Pleasant enough park in the middle of the city but didn't seem like much of a tourist attraction when we were there. Calm and peaceful but not much to do...seemed more in use by locals e.g. for jogging and getting a break from the bustle of the city. Would only recommend if you have a longer stay in Bangkok more than a few days.

It’s nice. Lots of grass and trees. We went for a swim in the big pond but my girlfriend got bitten by one of the big water geckos. I also saw lots of people jogging but it was about 35°C so i’m not doing that.

Has such a lovely stroll around this park late morning. It was interesting to see how many use it for exercise purposes. I enjoyed the much needed green space and clean air. I have visited before, but this was the first time I saw the infamous lizards, which was cool, they were chilling next to the glass house.

A beautiful, peaceful place to walk around, with Komodo dragons to boot! Don’t get too close! My one criticism is a certain section has a number of cats and some look in dire need of vet care. Made me quite sad that no one cares enough that lives there to take them or get them spayed/neutered.

A great park to chill out and relax in after a busy day sightseeing or walking around the city. Very clean, very safe and you forget that you are in the middle of a city.

Hi everyone, my mum loves thai chi so I thought maybe we can join a group at Lumpini Park early in the morning (our hotel is not far from it).
Could anyone please inform me which hour is the best time in the morning.
Thanks in advance and have a great day.

Although I am not familiar with any of the tai chi groups that practice in Lumpini, I have seen them practicing. Common sense tells me that they would be practicing during the early morning hours, but one Saturday recently I saw several groups practicing at around 11:00 AM

Donde es una buena zona para quedarse cerca del centro de bangkok?
LucasRodriguez
Malaga, Spain108 contributions
Nosotros nos ubicamos cerca del Palacio Real y de una zona con mucho turismo, como es Khao San Road. Acertamos porque está todo, relativamente, cercano, con muy buenas comunicaciones y buenos servicios cercanos durante todo el día.
How much is the entry rate to the park?
Prabhjeet S

Entry to park is free but you have to pay for activities, like pedal boats. I think even parking is free on weekends / holidays.

Hi, I’ll be visiting the chatachuk market this weekend and I’ve heard of live animals being kept in horrific conditions. I’m extremely sensitive to animal cruelty. Can anyone tell me of a cheap market in Bangkok where no animals are sold?”

Many years ago there were dogs in cages for sale however on my last trip to the market in July 2019 there weren't any to be found. It does take stamina to spend a day at the market !

R. Layne Holley
Memphis, TN2,413 contributions
I’m in BKK currently and checked the website for Bangkok Symphony, It does not report a concert at the park for 16 December 2018. The most recent concert listed was yesterday, 15 December 2018, at the Thailand Cultural Center.
The last appearance by the symhony at Concert In The Park series was listed as March 4, 2018.
