.City Life: Lumphini Park |
|
|
|
|
| The spacious places where
you can relax are few in Bangkok. The research
of the best urban space leaves a few leafy
places and rest. Suan Lumphini won on concrete
and managed to preserve a nice patch of nature
in the capital. |

>> Bangkok’s
green lung, Suan Lumphini is the biggest and
the more popular public park of the city.
A little like the big parks in the american
cities, Lumphini is lodged in the middle of
the business towers.
Far from the roars of the trafic, the place,
which has the name of the birth of the Bouddha
in Nepal, only could be a symbol of quiet
and well-being. The numerous ways the walkers
and the joggers use cross greenary and palm
groves around the lake. Here, each one adopts
its rate and enjoy the privileged place. The
contemplatives daydream on the benches next
to the painters who do their best in order
to catch the colours of the leafy setting,
where the more happy-go-lucky stand. The imperceptible
lap of the pedalos and the small boats accompany
the diffuse threnodies of the romantic singers.
While the adepts of exercices (jogging, gym,
tai chi chuan, bodybuilding), unruffled, chase
the devils of the stress away and try to capt
the positive energies of the park from the
early morning -4.30am-, some little restaurants,
specialized in thai food, concoct tasty dishes.
They will allow to people who want to prolong
these moments of relaxation, to stay a little
more in this haven of peace. (/JM) |
