Lumpini park is a nice park not too far from my condo -no flat, not apartment. Here it is a condo. Or kondooow as would be the Thai way of saying it. Anyway, back to the original track: lumpini. A nice big park in the centre of town. Usually busy early mornings and late at night, just when the heat is bearable. Nice green area with plenty of shade, a lake and even some little lizards (they are about half my size).
People go there for a walk, a run, meet up for their choir practise, play cards, practise tai chi and all sorts of other things you might or might not to expect to see in a park. Last time I was there I saw this guy teaching a tango lesson. Picture it: park, 9 am, band stand in the background, 30 degrees, + 60% humidity, very serious Thai guy, Thai lady with sun visor, tango music coming out of very old tape player. The couple dancing away with passion to the loud music. Hmm quite and image for before breakfast.
If you come to town you might want to visit Lumpini. One of the few green areas around and you will certainly get an snapshot of Thailand’s culture and it’s people.
