This park offers rare open space and grass in the Thai capital and contains an artificial lake where visitors can rent boats. A track around the lake is a popular area for bicycling. It was created in the 1920s by King Rama VI on royal property. A statue of the king stands at the southwestern entrance to the park. It was named for Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha in Nepal, and at the time of its creation stood on the outskirts of the city.
At around 6pm after the national anthem, the young and old, mostly women will participate in the mass aerobics lead by the professional fitness instructors. While the ladies are busy sweating off, I choose to peddle the duck boat, although it's mostly for lover but who cares if the boat swings heavily on one side, I'm determined to showcase my single hood power and enjoy myself ;)
