Octavia Ridgeway
★★★★★a week agoLumphini Park was a lovely place to spend some time. It feels spacious and easy to relax in, especially with all the shaded benches around. Watching the giant monitor lizards was definitely the most memorable part for me, and it added a weirdly fun twist to the visit. If that’s not your thing, the pedal boats are a nice calmer option.

★★★★★a month agoThe park is peaceful and full of nature. There are flowers, greenery, cats, and even monitor lizards, which adds to the experience. There are also paddle boat activities available if you want something more engaging. It’s within walking distance from the BTS station, and the stroll there is really enjoyable with lovely views along the way. Best to bring along a water bottle, especially if visiting around midday, as it can get quite warm. A nice spot for a relaxing walk and to enjoy nature in the city.
